Pretty sure those are just 2 different scenes they are splicing together for a trailer for dramatic effect.
I hope so, because it is a good shot for a trailer and I understand how they can be cut together or show scenes that aren't even in the movie. At the same time it's just too similar and if it's shot this way in the movie and they crammed it in the trailer that's just inattention and bad editing. Little flaws like that are going to give way to other things that they don't care about to rush their movie out the door.
Well, don't forget, that close up of him shirtless, focused on his face, was already in the first trailer And it was preceded by him walking down the pier,
shirtless drinking a bottle of booze. It then cut to a shot of him standing at the end of the pier, looking at the wave crashing over him,
shirtless, and then cuts to that closeup of, you guessed it, him shirtless. It's far more likely that the clip is from that sequence, and they spliced it in because it's a really good closeup shot of his face, making him look sexy/dangerous/powerful. You know, stuff to try and draw in the crowd who wants to see a big muscly man shirtless.

have you seen the man? when you are that hot you dont need to take your own clothes off
Though your theory about the water stripping him down because he's just too sexy for his shirt, like the ocean is the spiritual manifestation of Right Said Fred....I'm on board with this theory. xD
Lol I know right? Like they just want a reason to show him with his shirt off.
Well yeah, for one, trying to swim with clothes on sucks. I've done it, and I'd much rather be shirtless, and pantless honestly. And let's face it, the dude is hot. I'm straight, and even I can see why people get horny for the guy. Sex appeal is a real thing, to deny it is just silly. And it doesn't hurt to advertise a little skin for your product. I'm certain there are people who are going simply because they want to see half naked Jason Momoa, just like plenty of people go to movies to see half naked *insert female actress of your choice*. So yeah, showing him all wet and slippery and nekked is a smart move.
Also, the shot does look cool. I'm not in the camp of "Aquaman is stupid because they didn't make him cool in SuperFriends, and that's the only way we can seem to understand him, so he is forever lame in our heads" fans. Dude that rules 75% of the planet, has super strength, super durability, can summon tidal waves and aquatic animals to his side, has a giant trident he stabs people with, he's got more going for him than Batman in my book. Who, as is stated in this trailer, has the super power of "being rich." Plus, since they are going for this Poseidon look, I think he looks fucking badass.
I dunno, maybe it's because I'm an old school White Wolf fan, and found the Rokea (shark shapeshifter) game line really damn interesting, that I find him more compelling. Given the terrifying shit that really does exist in the ocean, not to mention the crazy nightmare fuel stuff they came up with for that game line, I don't see it as being a safe/nice place to live, and he's the fucking king of it. You just don't fuck with that kind of a person.
