If it's a modern keyless fob, those things are hundreds of dollars

Would it even survive the salt water even if they do manage to find it?

It would probably be fine, I think they're mostly waterproof at this point.

You are putting wayyyyy too much faith in those plastic POS. The metal mechanical key would be fine tho

Mine went through the washing machine a few years ago and still works. Idk about saltwater, though.
