This works quite well. You can make a pic above or below the water surface. You can add your own sky background. The reflections do cause some small white dots (artifacts); DAZ must get a little cornfused!

Nice Ocean
Ocean Hdris V.deux
Ocean HDRIs are about control and creativity. The first version was an early effort on my part. My goal was to see how useful it would be to have the ocean in the scene itself rather than as simply part of the HDRI. It was successful. Some improvement was necessary however. Every render I shot required tweaking to the assets themselves. Finally now I have decided to take the time to bake the best of these tweaks into a new version.
The Ocean is bigger. This seemed necessary to gain long fields of view without an obvious break point on the horizon. Previous morphs are no longer all necessary. "Ocean Choppy" takes care of adding action to the ocean surface. "Ocean Stormy" is obviated. "Ocean To Horizon" is moot due to the larger prop. The Ocean is also better textured allowing for better light refraction and reflection. It looks spectacular.
The Seafloor is re-textured to give a better sense of the Caribbean. It now picks up color and luminosity from the wider scene for realistic feedback in renders.
The Sun Grabber is still there, although another option exists: the Sun Aiming Camera. This is for those who want to aim the sun in the scene from the character's point of view. Simply rotating the camera view in the aux viewport using the "Sun Aiming Camera" viewpoint moves the sun to any angle desired, and it is intuitive. The Grabber is also intuitive but in a slightly different way. Some will feel more comfortable with one option, some the other.
HDR files are updated. "Gathering Storm" and "Milky Way" are still there albeit fine tuned a bit. Two new ones are "Whispy Sky" and "Cumulus".
Some criticism, not always politely delivered, was initially offered asking why a "Sun" was added to an HDRI. Fair question. The answer is that with an HDRI the scene becomes somewhat flattened. There is no fall off on the character to speak of. With only an HDRI you cannot independently control the direction of the main light source. You must compromise between that and the backdrop to your character as you rotate the dome. With Ocean HDRIs that is not necessary. Each HDR image illuminates evenly and the Sun gives you limitless control over the main light source without sacrificing backdrop composition. Adding ring flashes or other fill lights won't "blow out" the scene either, because a lot of attention was paid to how much light the HDR images provide. It allows room for extra illumination giving the artist much more authority to design the scene lighting.
Included In This Package:
1) Ocean prop
1) Seafloor prop
1) Sun Grabber
1) Sun Aiming Camera
4) HDRIs
TIP
In response to Callie's review (thank you callie!) if you get fireflies in any Iray render, one great way to make sure they don't appear is to enable your Post Denoiser Filter:
Render Settings Pane -- > Filtering --> Post Denoiser Available(On) --> Post Denoiser Enable (On). That's it. Leave the other settings at default. You'll be good :)
