Afaik, there's no way of actually doing what you're asking with in realtime rendering. We would have to ray trace every pixel or have some other very water-specific buffer to attenuate the light. I think this is out of scope. If you disagree, reach out to me.

Steps to reproduce:

Open attached project
Open Outdoors Scene
Select camera
Move its transform in the -Y direction until the plane and the spotlight cone become invisible

Actual results: We see the plane disappear

Expected results: We should be able to see the spotlight contribution and not being attenuated the deeper you go underwater.
