I've need some nice sea bottom effects. Like what you see in the bottom of a swimming pool too. I'm been looking for a tutorial that works, and is realistic. and works at 4368 x 2912 resolution.

can anyone help...

This one I used the Water Reflection Action in PS Default Actions. You might find it useful for a pool.

Here is an image I'd like to create in photoshop.

would be quite hard to do .. but I like to have a top down view of the sea bed.

I'm sure you can see what I'm after.

Don't know if this will help but you should be able to figure out a way to make the thin highlight reflection lines with this tut. He's creating lightning but it could be similar. Give the movie awhile to download.
