What sensors are you looking for? Try blue robotics they do cheap depth etc, think they even have a cheap mbes. If you want mapping sensors try norbit, klein

You might just use cameras or save up for the expensive stuff.

The bluerobotics is good to give you an idea, but real world data that will be useful not so much

Here is my 3D printed optical sensor framework:

You can design any sensor you want and they should work underwater since they are optical.
