I know of three (maybe a fourth, there's one that I can't remember whether it was underwater or not) underwater quests on EfU:A, which is the same as I can remember from the UD, so we do have them, but none of them have the primary fighting actually taking place underwater as it did in the UD underwater quests.
One of the great things about an Archipelago setting is the abundance of water. Sunken ships to pick clean of their cargo while dodging eels and sharks and jellyfish (or, naturally, killing them), merchants hiring adventurers to defend against pirates or sahuagin raiders, sunken Netherese laboratories- these all make sense and would be very cool. The first option there also lends itself well to providing some lore about the history of Old Port, rather than just being a chance for more adventure/treasure (aka xp and loot), as oceanfloor shipwrecks can contain historical relics as easily as gold and silver. For the merchant vessel protection, I could see it being like an "invasion" style quest, with the pirates spawning on a ship as they swing across on ropes or the sahuagin leaping up out of the water to attack. Reward for that quest would come in the form of getting to Old Port, as well as some token payment from the merchant, but very low loot payout.
also a quest non-good for low levels where you're hired to slaughter dolphins would be good

Thrask Morv requires Baby-Dolphin grease for various reagents!
Dont rush me! But yeah, coming up, and until it's scripted, most my events so far have/will be ship related. Prepare bubleberries and rowboats, and don't shy away from peg-leg sailors or worn treasure maps. ;)
