According to Christoff Hormann, the Mie types are best for water.  I used
scattering { 3, <0.004, 0.012, 0.020> }.  I also added:

   method 3
   intervals 1
   samples 3, 3
   aa_level 2

to speed things up, but be warned that in some scenes there will be a penalty in
quality.  Please find attached my source code.

Have a look at Christoff's tutorial:
