Unable to move or interact with anything in-game once Geralt is in deeper water.

Following video above shows what I'm experiencing. Once Geralt is in a body of water he just doesn't move/can't move. I can't even open up the menu after it closed in the above video.
I have tried various fixes - saving and then reloading that save, restarting the game, pressing dive as soon as I jump in, checking the IK_C=(Action=DiveDown) functions in the input settings to make sure there isn't any IK=None lines.. Afraid to verify files on steam as last time that screwed up a lot of my mods.
While I do have mods installed, none of them affect water or Geralt's ability to swim, and on each of the mods installed, this is not a reported bug so unlikely to be mod related.
I did have to do a clean wipe of the game a few days ago due to another bug, reinstalled mods including Brothers in Arms - I know the thread says this must only be used in a new clean game, and not uninstalled then reinstalled but would be surprised if this caused a water-related bug.
1) Brothers in Arm Ult Edition

Any help/advice would be appreciated. Script Merger has a few conflicts but generally according to the threads they can be ignored.
