Video game concept

Although this makes sense beyond a certain distance, not being able to see something right near the surface even is unnatural in most cases.
This can have several reasons for being in there.
1) Performance. Opaque water does not incur performance hit like partially transparent water does.
2) Uncertainty. Player can't see enemies moving just below surface.
3) Technical. Engine does not support transparent surfaces.
