This is what I used for the "History" round. Not goopy looking, I don't
think, but otherwise fits your description :*)

//the water's surface
plane {
   y,0
   texture {
      pigment {
         color White filter .5
      }
      normal {
         gradient x, 3
         sine_wave
         turbulence <.4,.1,0>
         scale <2,1,2>
      }
      finish {
         reflection .7
         specular 0.4
         roughness 0.2
      }

   }
}

//the seabed
plane {
   y,-5
   texture {
      pigment {
         color Tan*.25
      }
      normal {
         gradient x, 1
         sine_wave
         turbulence <.3,.1,0>
      }
      finish {
         ambient .5
      }
   }
}
