This is a great collage, I love how realistic they look, I still do not know how to make a scene divided by water, but you look fantastic!
Greetings friend and I wish you a nice Sunday! 🌞

A thousand thanks, @mballesteros. :-)
Glad you stopped by.
That's no longer allowed... :-D
I really don't know how the pros would do it either. But I just try to depict it so that it makes sense.
With this collage, I tried to make it look like a kind of aquarium glass - a clean separation.
It seemed logical to me that there must be some waves breaking on the glass, and where there are waves, there is also, at least a little, foam. Foam can be painted very well with an acrylic brush that has a bit of drawing dynamics, I've discovered.
For the turbidity effect, I simply placed a water texture over the underwater area, blurred it a little, made the dark areas more intense using color curves and then blended this layer with this area using "screen" blend mode.
Finally, I then had to cut the image into two parts - the area above the water and the area below. The underwater area then had to be given a slight wave effect.
For underwater scenes in murky water, you can always work with a lot of darkness to enhance the depth of the image. Virtually everything that is too far away from the light or the observer can be made very dark.
