No, that would be IP68 (complete immersion) IP67 is protected
against immersion for a specified time and depth (1m AFAIR)


Thank you, I stand corrected. Hint to self, check before offering comment

Maplin sold IP68 mains connectors at one time - I have one submersed
in my pond for the pump. Don't know whether they do them now or not.
Made by Bulgin IIRC.
That would be the best way to extend the flex I reckon.
