For off-roaders, they usually modify their rigs to be able to handle that problem.
If your rig is a street queen and all show and no go, you may have a problem.
Even if this is the case, your vehicle will still be able to ford water levels that would've had your stock air box filled with water already. While this doesn't seem much. Something is better than nothing.
If you're willing to spend time and money, you can pinpoint all the stuff that are allergic to water and make sure they are waterproofed.
Hope this helps.

Hi Killer Angel
To answer your question as to what a snorkel does, it raises your air intake.
It's benefits during deep water fording should be obvious.
For other benefits, please see Otep's reply above.
Snorkels are not limited to diesel engines. Gas Engines can use them as well but you need more work to waterproof the other components inside your engine bay.
Hope this helps.
