30 ft swim speed is fine.

10 level monk for the abbot is good. Let's give the abbey 4-12. CR 6 is fine.

Updated, and included the sea abbot, for which we'll need 3 more feats, 40 monk skill ranks, and 3 ability score increases.

Is Improved Natural Attack (unarmed strike) legal? That would give it a 3d6 unarmed strike. I'd also think Lightning Reflexes and Deflect Arrows would be good picks.

As for the skills, increasing Balance, Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Spot, Tumble would be my preference - 5 more in Balance, 7 more in each of the others?

As for the Ability increases, I'm thinking +2 Dex and +1 Wisdom is the most effective pick, although there is something to be said for +3 Wisdom.

Imp. Natural Attack (unarmed strike) is totally legal.

That all sounds good to me.

I notice it's missing some of a 10th level monk's SQs. I can understand cutting its Purity of Body and Still Mind, since it's already immune to disease and mind-affecting attacks, but there's nothing to stop it using the healing from Wholeness of Body.

Hmm...I was assuming it was positive energy (and therefore harmful to the sea abbot), but it isn't spelled out. Odd. I'll add it and leave it up to the DM to fight the contradiction.

Updated.

Looks pretty good!

6 of these bastards to go!

Ready for the Umibozu?

Gargantuan undead?

Ramming ability of the ocean strider? Capsize of dragon turtle? Both?
