The water in a lot of the Pacific is extremely clear, and this is why in the early war sub doctrine was to fire based off of sonar observations. Submarines could be seen by air at periscope depth and were told to make attacks at depths of 100 feet.
This is something I believe the developers are spot on with.

And really, how can you argue with Sailor Steve?
