Aeolius- I liked that thread about Underwater Ambience.

I have to agree with Lycanthromancer about using Tangerine Dream as background music. The first to spring to mind, of course, would be Underwater Sunlight.

In addition, you might try the soundtrack to Cirque du Soleil's underwater show, O.

When it comes to music, I am fond of Diane Arkenstone's Aquaria:

As for movies, I like this one:

As for literature, I find inspiration in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and Poe's poem "The City in the Sea" (from which War-Gods of the Deep was inspired). For a bit of non-fiction, I turn to [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Ocean-Worlds-Last-Wilderness-Revealed/dp/0756622050/ref=pd_sim_b_1"]OCEAN[/ame]

Another source of inspiration can be found in documentaries. Discovery's Blue Planet series comes to mind.
