Fun fact you can ocassionally fight the Lagiacrus Subspecies underwater. But on to more important matters "Underwater Combat" was an excellent way to add more diversity to MH and was incredibly fun. It also gave us a new creature class to fight and made you feel that you were definitely in the monster's neck of the wooods. Fighting Plesioth underwater is pretty enjoyable as well although it can be a pain in the a## with it's tailwhip attack. Capcom would have to be crazy not to bring back this method of fighting/traveling.
