Underwater sensor

Hey guys
I'm trying to build a auv using bs2
The problem is that I couldn't find any suitable sensor that works underwater(for navigation, measuring distance)
I'm thinking of wraping ultrasonic range sensor to keep it waterproof.Will this work? Any suggested sensor ?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thx

Also Google "pvdf film hydrophone" and you'll get some hits including DIY.
The film has to be relatively thick to match the acoustic impedance of water, and in direct contact.

Are there any cheap (<$50) sensor that can measure distance underwater?
Thx for the reply

Ultrasonic transducers designed to work in air will not work underwater, even when sealed.
