Yeah, but you need 2 people for it. There are 5 essential angles that I spend a lot of time training, think the Vetruvian Man with his arms outstretched, then think about the necessary maneouverability to take puck to the head (straight ahead), right hand, left hand, right knee, left knee. So, 5 different directions, each with a 72 degreeish difference.

Ok, so you and your partner drop to the bottom, facing each other, about 1.5-2m apart, 1 player has the puck and is allowed to throw it anywhere within reach of the other player.

Now, you're going to practise catching the puck and moving it in each of those 5 directions. Do each direction once and rotate through them, so you have a set direction you know you have to take the puck before it is thrown at you.

Each time your partner throws the puck at you, try and take it in mid-water and move it in the correct direction, ending with the puck in front of you and you swimming at full pace.

For example, if you know that it's the left knees turn and your partner throws the puck at your right shoulder, you would catch it mid-water (getting your stick behind the puck) and move the puck underneath you towards your left knee, continuing to push through until you were swimming at an angle of 216 degrees to your original position.

Hmm, did any of that make sense? I probably need pictures for this sort of thing.
