Suggestions?

see? now, I could make the screens more interesting by adding tons of little islands, or something land-ish, however this is open-water, so that wouldn't work
what I need from you guys is suggestions for stuff under the water. the water is supposed to be clear, so that makes it easy. I just don't know what to put down there, you know?

Okay, a few things.
- Sand Dunes. If it's a bay, it could definitely use a little bit of sand here and there. Don't overdo it, of course, but sand can definitely be used well in these settings.
- Starfish and things that you'd see washed up next to the cliffs. I'd like to see barnacles sticking to the lower cliffs. That'd be nice.
- Seagulls. Perhaps you could have little birds laying on the shore, sitting, as eyeball combos? They wouldn't look at you when you're behind them though. That'd be cool. ^_^
- Have the reflection of the cliffs showing in the water. That might be a nice little touch.

this is supposed to be IN the water, not AROUND the water
Lizmo, I already have the dungeon planned out. I need suggestions for thungs under the water that have nothing to do with the actual gameplay; stuff to make the water less boring

Maybe put some different terrain types down there, take out most of those things sticking out of the water now, then make the water transparent and layer it on?

Anyway...
I would find it pretty cool with the reflection of the sun on the water. That way, it would look like a REAL island, not just some boring... water stuff.
Don't make it all 1 color, add a whole bunch of different colors to the screen.
Well, I can't think of any other suggestions, so I guess I hope those suggestions are good.
Oh, and another suggestion, make it look like there are ship parts in the water. Not just those boring wood logs in LA, but make it look like it came from an actual ship or something.
Well... hope ya liked the suggestions.

Shadow Tiger, my water isn't THAT clear
Skipper, having the sun reflect off the water wouldn't look right. it would have to scroll with Link when he swam from one screen to another
Siguy, fish under the water would be hard to do, but it WOULD look nice
everyone else, the water is dark like that so create the illusion of crystal-clear water with almost no bottom. it's staying that dark
