Same here (except for some snorkeling I did, off the coast of Florida. But that
was only in relatively shallow water, maybe 15-20 feet.)

That's a great one! Very beautiful and realistic. For my own scene, I'm trying
for more of a 'fantasy' look (kind of artificial), sort of what I *think* it
should look like ;-) The whole scene has a fantasy feel to it--which my still
shot doesn't really convey, as it's very early in the animation. Some funny
things happen later, which throws realism out the window!

I don't think I've seen that one (or don't remember it.) Is the image itself up
online anywhere now?
