I would suggest a few things:

1. Use POV-Ray 3.5 :)
2. Use fresnel reflection (coupled with a ior of 4/3) and
conserve_energy
3. The pigment is way off, water is normally perfectly clear with only
slight attenuation. Why don't you use something like pigment { rgbf 1
} and add attenuation to the ior (either fade_power 1000 or absorbing
media)?

These are realistic settings, try giving them a shot and see if they
make your scene look more real.
