Pelicans have relatively poor underwater vision compared to their excellent aerial vision. Their eyes are adapted for spotting fish from above the water's surface, but they lack the necessary adaptations for clear vision underwater. When they dive to catch fish, they rely more on their other senses and their ability to judge distances rather than on sight. Therefore, while they can see some movement underwater, their vision is not optimized for that environment.

Can you see under water?

Technically, yes. You can either wear goggles or scuba masks to see underwater, and you could open your eyes underwater (granted your vision will be so blurry that you can barely make out the shape of your own hand) to see, but opening your eyes underwater without gear is not a reliable way to see underwater.
