There isn't really anything specific to OSG that can help you with this.
I am working on underwater effects at the moment and most of my work has
been with shaders.
Tessendorf offers a fairly comprehensive guide to ocean rendering both
above and below water here:

the papers he references in that cover most techniques.
The book, Shader X5 has a good section on creating god-rays using a
multi-pass technique.
Aside from that osgParticle gives you the framework to create a range of
particle effects such as plankton, silt on the seabed and bubbles.
Osg::Fog is also useful as a quick and easy underwater cue.
I also played around with multi-pass rendering and refraction shaders,
refracting images above water through the ocean surface and warping the
screen in general creating a kind of wobbly underwater feel.
I'm afraid I can't share any code, but if you're looking for
inspiration, take a look at the games BioShock or the underwater
Not trying to take this thread off topic, but taking a look at BioShock
should be done by everyone, not just because they have best water
effects in any game to date. :) BioShock is probably the best game I've
played in 5 years... the ambiance and settings and story and everything
are simply without peer...
sequences in Splinter Cell Double Agent, as it's where I gathered most
of my ideas from.
Hope that is of some help.
