In a flowing stream they do.
Irregularities on the bottom cause turbulence in flowing water.
In the deeper parts of a stream channel this turbulence is too deep to be seen, in shallower parts it shows.
White water boaters know to keep to the smoother appearing parts of the river.

On the Kalaupapa Peninsula, in Kauhako Crater (of an extinct volcano), they do for sure.
There is a small pond at the bottom of the crater. No one is sure exactly how deep it is, but measurement instruments have gone down at least 800' without touching botom.

SCUBA divers in the Georgia Strait have died because they were unable to escape sudden formation of rapidly descending tidal current under the calm sunny surface.
I've had my boats dragged from place to place all too
rapidly in same regional waters.

Only the surface appears still, underneath it's turbulent and very deep!

the puddle in my driveway is still and it is very shallow...yet the waters of Lake Michigan can be very violent and they are very deep. its a good literative statement but not very logical
