Just look at some good quality photos from your reference books, (I KNOW you have some!) and you'll see what I mean.
If anyone agrees ...here's a little tweek to the waterTranspPS you can make. Just open it in notepad,scroll down untill you see this...
float maxDist = WaterParams.w;
//[ser] Increase opacity near intersections to make water edge more visible
float shallowfactor = saturate(1/(depthlength*40 + 1));
//[ser] Attempt a pseudo-antialiasing by decreasing opacity smoothly near zero-depth
shallowfactor = saturate(shallowfactor - pow(shallowfactor,4))*1.25;
// depthlength = saturate(depthlength/maxDist + shallowfactor);
depthlength = saturate(depthlength *0.35);
Change the highlighted number to 0.6 (its a compromise number so feel free to go higher or lower, if you like.)
IMO, this makes the water look far more natural..not like crystal clear water in a bathtub!
Cheers!

Geesh, the water is almost solid now compared to what it once was, plus we now have a black horizon at night to match it. I actually like it compared to the past, as you really have to work with the moon. I think in reality, water was more transparent than it is with 2.1. Course depends on where you are in the world....
