Can I use a waterproof walkie talkie for scuba diving?

No. Consumer waterproof radios are rated for surface submersion only (1 meter depth). Underwater radio communication requires specialized diving equipment with different frequencies.

Does water affect radio range?

Being near water actually improves range — flat water surfaces reflect radio waves well. Over-water communication typically achieves better range than over-terrain communication.
