Does Darkvision work normally under water as it does on the surface? I see nothing in the Underwater Visibility section of the DMG Adventure Environments chapter which clarifies anything.
The rules don't say it stops working underwater so I can't see why it should unless a DM wants to house rule it.
Vision underwater may be obstructed due to cloudy water or stuff floating in it. The DM might also require goggles or something similar for a surface creature to see clearly underwater (presumably aquatic races have adaptations already). However, as far as Darkvision itself goes, RAW, I don't see any reason it would not continue to work under water.
