edit: whoops was thinking motors not esc for some reason....

I have seen although I do not know how well it works, putting the esc in a ziplok container (hard plastic kind) where there is plenty of air inside to allow it to still cycle air over the heatsink. however this air is trapped and will eventually get too warm.
when your not submerging your vehicle in water you can simply remove the lid and it will work just fine, and the high walls will be resistant to water (unless it goes over the side in which it will pool inside!)
