Longer range for one.. I know I've seen an answer to a similar question before, but I can't seem to find it. :-?

see it sounds like to me that the damage would be reduced a bit, but it would affect a larger area.

They way water transmits it, it could do more damage, plus, if a directed 'beam', could likely do damage radiating out from it.
While not exactly the same, explosions are far more devastating in water than air, and worthless in space without fragmentation. The thicker the atmosphere, the more you feel waves in it, as they transmit better.
Really wish I could remember where that question was, think it was in a book, rather than online, started off by asking about a sound/sonic based spell.

Always thought the Banshee's Sonic Cannon would be devastating converted to underwater use.
