When in the ocean, you can see underwater, like you can see on land. There is 0 visibility loss. This happens when half of the camera was water, the other half outside of water.
Basically, your vision is in between the waves/ocean, and the upper environment (land, surface, etc). {F16908} {F16909} {F16910} {F16911} {F16912}

OCEANProbably the name is a bit misleading but the subjekt is really important so one up from me.
I have seen many game with underwater view got this kind of problem,even in ArmA and ArmA2.
This is rather annoying and ought to be fixed. It kills the otherwise very nice looking effects of swimming.

possibly a way to overcome this problem is by creating a transition as exists when enters inside a vehicle but I'm not a dev to say this will work.
the game endless ocean uses this method

A hard one to fix I think
BIS needs to up a height limit for when the new fog settings are getting applied so you get everything fogged when the water is at lower position on a screen.
Unfortunately, many games have this, including the other armas, and battlefield 4. It would be nice to see it fixed, but if it is too formidable a bug to be fixed quickly, than I would much prefer if BI turned their attention to more important things.
