Almost nothing is "100% waterproof." Heck, U.S. nuclear subs still have a (classified) crush depth.
Are you looking to take the GPS to depth? How deep?

Gps radio signal isn't strong enough to go into the water for any depth

Interesting but very expensive.
Wonder how it would work for a shore dive?

There are numerous waterproof cases or the thick waterproof bags designed just for that purpose.
I don't know if you have gotten your answer to this yet, but I use one of my old 35mm camera housings to put a Garmin in. The housing is rated to recreational depths, and I'm not using it for anything else anymore. I can't push any buttons on it, but I do turn it on and hook it to a reel. If I find something I want to mark I let it float up for a few min to get a signal then pull it back down.
This is what I am thinking about getting... Nautilus Lifeline Marine Radio and GPS
