In many places it will be like the mediteranean sea. Large shallow waters with light/sandy bottoms areas. Lots of coral. The New Zealand Corvette's 'Kiwi' and 'Moa' sunk a Japanese fleet sub in the solomons by running it into coral. Given they had seen the sub and forced it to submerge, in the clear waters it had no chance to evade these boats. They merely hearded onto the reef.
We all know what happened to Germany's sub fleet when it entered the mediteranean waters.
