Does underwater crossbow suffer the penalities in ranged combat underwater?

So although the rules are vague, its probably intended that the underwater crossbow doesn't take the -2 per 5 feet in addition to normal range increments and instead takes the -2 per 20

it seems like these benefits only apply if you shoot while the crossbow is underwater. If you shoot from above water into the water I think you would take normal penalties. The rules for it are fairly poorly written, I would talk to your Gm for how he feels he wants to rule it for his game.
