If Macboffin's UAV is following my UAV (to see how I'm making money with it) I could just put it underwater until his craft runs low on fuel.And then continue on my mission.

If only the fluid density of water were a bit more like air ;-)
One of the interesting problems with underwater UAVs is navigation, since GPS doesn't work below a few inches of water. So they basically have to come to the surface to know where they are.
