It's all to do with how light works. When we are on land, light will be travelling in a straight line, and the light photons will beam straight into our eye. We can focus this light and see properly. However, if beams of light will hit another object (discluding gases, or everything would be blurry) it will be refracted (or bent, but scientists say refract because it sounds more scientific). So, when we are in water, the beams of light will refract as it hits the water, so the beams of light will not directly hit our eye, and objects underwater will therefore appear blurry.

How does refraction affect underwater objects?
refraction affects underwater objects by the vision of the where the object is. lets say there is a fish swims in the water and your watching it from above the water. the fish is seen by your eyes as in one position. however the fish is not actually where your eyes see it. the power of refraction cast illusions of visuals because of the refractive index. where your seeing the fish is where the air is, and water has a more dense refractive index. so, in reality, we see the object away from where it actually is.
