Check out the Backroom - the link is at the top of the page - there's a tutorial by sacada that should meet your needs exactly.

I tried this tutorial last night and it was pretty easy to get the water plane into position and achieve the right effect on and above the water but I was confused about how to make the area below the water level actually look like it's underwater. Sacada (or anyone else), can you explain how it's done. Thanks.

Light is the effect that produces the underwater look. Two main ways that can be used independantly or together. Volumetric spotlight and a Gel. I usually use the Spots Gel or the Caustics Gel in the Light Gels Material Group. Make sure your light is below to water line to get more control.

Thanks sacada. I'll give that a try.
