Each diff, the t-case and the tranny have breathers to vent hot gases & pressure difference. They typically only extend about 6-10". So if you cross stream, etc deeper than that the breather will suck water. If you never cross water deeper than your axle then this is probably nothing to spend time and $ on.
On the other hand about ~$40-50 worth of 1/4 fuel line hose or similar, a few tees, a small fuel filter, zip ties and some hose clamps and you can run the lines together and terminate them via the fuel filter at the highest point on the firewall. And there seems to be some debate whether or not the OEM one-way spring loaded valve at the end of each breather hose actually accentuates the issue by not equalizing the pressure in the diff/t-case effectively compared to the fuel filter mod.
The tranny breather is a bit more difficult to access. I still need to extend mine...its "on the list"
If you do a search for "breathers" you'll pull up a number of threads covering the topic.
