Ugh...very, very wrong. What gave you that idea?
It will be more and more reflective the closer the angle of incidence 
comes to 0, past some point it will be perfectly reflective from total 
internal reflection. Assuming perfectly still water, there will be a 
circular area that you can see through. Look at some underwater 
photos...this image is pretty accurate.
