If you open a flooded compartment then the whole water comes in the actual compartment.
Ah, that would be great
You know, that's a very good point and raises some questions. In the previous games, each compartment had it's own flooding level, with no ability to affect the other compartments, that I know of. I just assumed the doors to any flooding compartment were shut.

In this game, with the ability to open and close doors, you can't really abstract that, or more accurately, you have to abstract it in a different manner. Will flooding still be tracked at the compartment level and the doors matter or will be represented as a generic flooding level throughout the entire boat? I'd be willing to bet the latter.
