While it's absolutely possible, there's a problem with what you've requested. Because you see, in GTA III the waterbed is simply not modelled - there's literal nothingness under water.

While I do remember the waterbed was remodelled from scratch by GTA-LC team in the past for their port of GTA III onto VC engine, it would probably be a real hassle to supply these files with re3. A separate mod/plugin would probably be more feasible for such feature.

I know that Vice City and San Andreas don't do this (but more modern games do, like GTA V), but in real life sea or large river water typically don't allow you to see the waterbed unless the water is very shallow. If it isn't shallow then it's just always the same colour (the colour of water's murkiness) so it might as well be opaque, at least when it's deeper than a foot. Reflections conceal the lack of a decent waterbed even further.
