A submersible water monitoring probe assembly (10) including: a cam-twist type interconnect mechanism (16); a flexible PCB (printed circuit bpard assembly) having flexible ribbon cable (85) sandwiched between layers of an enlongated circuit board (34), th ribbon cable extending outwardly from each end of the board and along an elongated probe-body (14); an internal gas-permeable and generally liquid impermeable barrier asembly (35, 36) disposed within the cam-twist interconnect mechanism between the elongated PCBA housed within the probe-body and an electrical connector (41) of the cam-twist interconnect mechanism; and if used, a vented cable assembly (28, 49, 29), or other means of transmitting sensor data collected by sensing circuitry within a submerged probe-end. Also an extender assembly (200) for use with the submersible probe. At each end portion of the extender assembly is either a male c twist type interconnect piece (45) or a female cam-twist type interconnect piece (27). The length-extender assembly may be electrical adapted to house one or more battery cells (33).
