There is a pretty damn good underwater viewing window for the elephants at Zoo Leipzig; I recorded a few videos of the elephants bathing when I visited in 2014:

The more unique underwater viewing opportunities I've seen are for tigers at Hogle Zoo (and he was very active when I visited) and anaconda at Como Zoo. Henry Doorly Zoo had raccoons in a mixed enclosure with juvenile alligators that had underwater viewing, although I didn't see the raccoons swimming.

In fact, the monitor have a large underwater area but very little (and wet) emergent land to rest :-(
