Hi,
  So you're looking for a script to identify "buried" atoms, or
waters in internal cavities? Finding buried protein atoms might
be doable by selecting atoms with near-zero SASA values, the inverse
of what someone else just asked for. Finding buried waters would
require some trickery, perhaps you could calculate the SASA values
for waters within a cutoff of "protein", and then sift through those
finding atoms with near-zero SASA values. That may or may not work,
but it's an idea to start with.
