If two people were standing on the beach, and one could walk on water and started walking out away from the other: how far would the walker get before you could not see him anymore? Remember the curvature of the earth is involved.

Well if they were standing on a beach next to each other and the person started walking towards the water, as soon as he took about 2 steps, he would not be able to see the person on the beach. He would be walking away from and facing away from the person on the beach, so as soon as he made a step or two the person they were standing next to would disappear out of their periferal (sp?) vision.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm this question has many flaws in it that makes it unanswerable. So since you said this person could walk on water, I assume you mean he's by an ocean or something. By oceans there is a lot of weather diversity (i.e. storms, fog, etc.), so it could be 10 ft before the people couldn't see eachother because it was really foggy, or 10.01 miles.

Well i would say that the max distance that you would see person walking on the water would be from 3 to 5 kilometar because you say that weather was clear so the person from the beach would lose the other person on the water beacause of the sun reflection and the distance is making the person shrink in the eyes of the looker
