Not really, the body is not water tight and there are some electrical parts that won't take well to the water.
How deep are you wanting to go?

It will help prevent wake splash from getting into the air intake for sure. I've had that happen on my Disco IIa before any electronic problems happened. Glad I had a K&N or I would have been filterless, kinda hard to shake out and dry a paper filter.

The guys I know with the snorkel experienced a decrease of about 1 mpg.

probably just due to the aerodynamic issues. But any LR isn't really all that aerodynamic to start with...
