Seen the clear water resin in YouTube, looks pretty good, though at the moment trying to find the cheapest 'water' I can. Come on I'm from Yorkshire...

these look reasonable:
you also get 10% off your first order. i have some which arrived a couple of days ago so have yet to use it - i plan to embed a scuba diver into it so it will be a block of fully transparent 'water'.

I don't like the smell, mess and potluck of resin based 'water'.
I use whatever I have in the shed, be it powder or ready mixed stuff.
This I spread as a thin layer on a PVA soaked base ( enought to form the waves and motion). Again, anything suitable. Melamine, plywood, polystyrene, whatever I have.
Let this dry. Paint whatever colour is required. Then add some life into the thing with a bit of clear silicone. Job done!
I create 'depth' simply by painting on the colours and clear varnishing the result.
Keep things simple. Sometimes there is far too much faffing about where modelling water is concerned, but to each his own, and if the builder is happy with his effort then all is good.
Me, I like the easy life!
Cheers.

Look forward to seeing the results. There's an amazing one on YouTube of a submarine blowing up in an under water mine field, complete with led explosion.

Yep, simple life sounds good, had a look at my 'filler' water this morning and looking good. Will need another 24 hours drying then start to paint.
