as for this, yes i like it too.., but theres a lot missing I feel.., though im not sure how to fix it.., ill give it a bit more of a crack at it.., make some differant fish and what not and see where it goes

Improve those caustics a little!!!!
it seems a little grayed and flat so play around with your lights and add some floating particles and ray-march them to get the feeling that there is participating media in the water.

yummy idea though this has massive potential,

Find images of shipwrecks and have a long play with texture painting, also watch finding nemo extras they talk for a bit on how they achieved or went about doing nice underwater shots.

Thanks mate! The job is pretty kool. Not all webdesign too. And I might be lucky enough to do some 3D work (even though they use 3DsMax)

Going to your post way back you said something about Actionscript. Isnt that flash's scripting language or something? I hate it ahhah. Took me ages to make platform games and physics engines.

Goodluck with this project (i still cant see a glowing orb :p )

Ahah nope. No actionscript in dreamweaver. Although you can embed SWF's into an HTML page. Remember, Dreamweaver doesnt make websites, it generates html code which makes websites.
