can anyone explain action at distance

Action at a distance can occur in fluids.

No.

For instance two adjacent objects falling in water will attract each other.

No.
The only force (except for gravity) that acts on the object
is the resultant force of the pressure in the fluid.

That's right...and it causes the objects to move towards each other.
...just like action-at-a-distance....

Action at a distance means action without touching.
