Jet skis use a switch not too dissimilar from that, but probably not
tough
enough for submerged use. You can get magnetic (and sealed) switched designed to
use on fence gates with security systems, but they may be too cumbersome for
your application.
Probably not any help, but perhaps you can look at some designs to
improve
upon.
