I think the phrase might be

Holy Water

Explanation

$H_2O$ represents water and it appears to be full of holes (hole-y)

Is it:

Watering holes (places where animals gather to drink). Lots of holes surrounded by water.

Might be a stretch, but what about:

Soda/Seltzer Water?

Because:

H2O obviously means water, but in this case it is water with bubbles in it?

The phrase is

Navy / Fleet

Explanation

The rebus shows holes in h2o, which is water. It is well known that a boat is a hole in the water, so multiple holes would mean multiple boats: either a fleet or a navy.

Another answer

without involving water: is that a stream cipher?

Because

The bubbles indicate flowing (i.e. a stream), while the "H2O" part, reading as "H to O", means "(translate) a letter to another letter", i.e. substitution cipher.

How about:

light water (opposite of heavy water)

because

the "holes" in the water remove weight.

Could it be:

Evaporating Water or Water Evaporation

As:

The rebus gives off the effect that it is disappearing or changing states.

Other possible answers:

Coconut Water - Coconut-shaped cut-outs on the water

And

Can't Hold Water - The word H20 wouldn't be able to hold water because it has holes in it
