Well acvtualy is pretty simple, just model the ground that u want , sand rocks, plants etc, then create a plane (a box actualy i use) to suround the whole scene, then apply the shader u want, blue/green with patterns on it to create the distortions (lots of water shaders out thier), then creat spot lights with fog in them to create the light streaks, if u want them. If u want the water to be dense then use a volume shader in the scene to create a fog like atmosphere.

There's a trick to connect the color of an ocean shader into a light that can get you a nice look for your sea floor.

Hi sunder

Could you explain that trick a bit better please
What kind of light would that be ?
Would that work just for the sea floor or for the all underwater environment ?

Also is there anyway of getting the same look but using mental ray ?

thanks
