I've coloured sea backgrounds a few times now, but wanted to try doing it a different way. I've basically done thick lines of different blue-green shades to represent the light shining through the water. I added some bubbles after. The Koi fish are fussy-cut and raised up with 3D foam pads for some dimension.
