The whole point of snorkel is that you can go as deep as you want, as long as the snorkel is free.

But are you sure you need a snorkel... ? You can drive in pretty deep water without one.

It depends also on what sort of water you are crossing. clean slow flowing river water will do a lot less damage to things like clutch and alternator than driving through a runny muddy silted puddle on a play site. that said things like kingpin bearings rust just driving on the road avoiding any serious puddles so if you are looking to get very wet on a regular basis your maintenence schedule needs to reflect the adverse driving conditions. Play hard service hard.
