Agreed.

Actually, a dark opaque pigment makes sense here, you usually can't see 
through this kind of water unless you are right above a shallow portion, 
and the scene is already slow rendering. I'd get rid of the ambient 
though, as a rule I only use a non-0 ambient value for objects that are 
supposed to glow.
