    Here is a video of a guy who made a really cool ocean table.

    I might have to give this a try!

    I wonder if you could add a wreck or if it just would look strange because of bubbles.

    I'm sure you could. There are various mentions of it in the comments.

    Who's going to try first?

    This one looks a fair bit simpler.

    Interesting how things come around.
    We used resin for rivers and lakes on our wargames boards som 30 years ago and found that the pouring of layers could be used to insert weed and rocks at different levels over a sand base, a very pale green mix in the first layer, then clear allowed for the visual aspects. With the third layer we just gently blew it with a hair dryer to get the ripple effect on the surface, For rapids etc you can add streaked white paint effects coming off the protruding rocks before the final top coat.
    It is great fun to play about with, and much easier than the methods shown here. All you need is a seal between the shore and the river or sea. Around the edge of a sea board tack on a strip of sealed plywood which can be removed after the resin has set. If ity is waxed beforehand it will come away easily.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
