      Summary:
      There was a water color and underwater visibility change in version 1.16.230.54:

      • Underwater visibility has been improved
      • Underwater color has been tuned to better match Java Edition with a richer blue tint

      https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360059595471-Minecraft-Beta-1-16-230-54-Xbox-One-Windows-10-Android-

      But in version 1.16.230.56, alas, the color is again as it was before version 1.16.230.54 (blue) .
      The underwater visibility also changed to the old one (as before 1.16.230.54) with a color change that made it difficult to navigate the underwater caves.

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Go into the water (preferably at sea).
      2. Look at the color and underwater visibility of the water.

      Observed results:
      The color and underwater visibility of the water is not the same as in version 1.16.230.54

      Expected results:
      Water color and underwater is the same as in version 1.16.230.54 or as in Java

      Notes:
      One water fix was written in the 1.17.10.21 beta changelog:

      • Underwater fog is once again dependent on biome (MCPE-124266)

      But this change was not supposed to affect the default water color and underwater visibility, but in fact, after this version, the water color and underwater visibility became the same as before version 1.16.230.54.

      With decreasing altitude, the fog becomes very strong (not visible far). Because of this, it is impossible to move around in the underwater caves.
