Speaking from experience on the Al'Kabor server, you were actually able to activate Sneak (or SoS) underwater, however you had to time it during your loading screen. Hitting the button as you're loading in, because there's a point while you're loading in the server doesn't understand which fluid medium you are in, and it lets you sneak. But if you load in fully to your character it won't let you sneak.

Yep... this behavior is what I also experienced in Live Classic/Velious. Alas, I can't recall whether I could or could not initiate hide/sneak underwater during Classic.

All experienced rogues know that EQEmu/P99 is far from perfect when it comes to Hide/Sneak behaviors. Enjoy it while it lasts...
