It's interesting how simple this looks, off the shelf parts, and 3D printed components. I'm almost surprised this doesn't already exist after looking at it.

If this what can be done with off the shelf parts and 3D printing, imagine what DARPA and the like have been doing for the past 20 years.

Makes the UFO/UAP stories about "it transitioned from the water to the air and back to the water!!" seem way more plausible.

What's the use case? We have very good dedicated aerial drones and very good dedicated submarine drones. If something is technically possible but no one makes it usually it means it's not that interesting
