I made you a little demo underwater map using the skybox idea.
http://www.members.shaw.ca/skidz/underw ... oxtest.rar
It uses a model with a refractive animated texture. Somewhat like normal water but this actually works for this purpose. Fog is used in the skybox giving the appearance that the seafloor continues forever. Then acouple env_bubbles for effect. Some long green sea plants would also look nice.
Ive included the VMF for you to take a look at.
[EDIT]
Also, if you dont have a card greater than DX7 this isnt going to look as good.

Thanks for the VMF skidz. I solved this with some different stuff. I used to place some normal env_bubbles around the room/round glassway and made a larger skybox that has the "halflife/black" texture(Thanks to Blackfinal for this).
I added a submarine from sourceprefabs.com to it and it looks nice, but I will do it the same way you did, this looks way better.

Well I'm not sure if he used the skybox thing but maxunit made like a small passage way that looked like you were under water. But then when you noclip outside there is no real water. It is an illusion. So waht ever it is it works nicly.
