Basically you have two different types of enemies - one with a larger FOV and 'view distance' and one with a smaller FOV and 'view distance'. Upon going under water the monster which has a more difficult time finding the player is activated (and given patrol nodes) and upon going over the water the monster with full sight range is activated once more. The game will place them at the same position, so no need to keep track of that. Unsure of wheter it will cause lag on swapping, but hopefully not.
