When swimming at the surface and looking down to an angle you can see clearly down to the bottom of the ocean, this could cause imbalance in future multiplayer matches allowing the player to easily spot other divers without the visual interference the water gives. {F17316}

This happens everywhere in the water, when I slightly move from over and below the surface line. It's a bug that's need a fix because we do not feel like being in real life.

Maybe also adding fine bubbles when going below water surface - may enhance realism aswell..

Still present in latest dev build.

Can still reproduce in build 107360.

This recent VBS 2 video (at time index 0:38-0:40) shows how the surface view should look:
