I am trying to find out if there is a way to increase the signal strength in a cypress 022001-00 PRoC BLE chip I am needing it to transmit through 8" of water ionized water it doesn't seam to be ably to go through that depth.

At 2.4 GHz water has got a maximum of absorption. This is why the microwave oven uses this frequency. Seems to be difficult for BLE connection if not impossible, 20cm of water is quite a lot!

Thanks I agree even if this chip is not ideal is there a chip that can do this

I am afraid this is not a matter of chips, but a matter of physics. Bluetooth uses the 2.4GHz range and this will be affected by water presence, no matter of ionization. Only way out seems to be using a different frequency for transmission which would leave the bluetooth specs. There is a BT 5.0 spec with higher output (no BLE!) you may give that a try.
