Description
These two node setups were developed by me with the help of some guys on BA (see thread here: [http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?278101-Look-into-the-water-Shader-Recreation](http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?278101-Look-into-the-water-Shader-Recreation)). Both shader try to fake the light absorption and blurryness of water relative to the depth. In difference to the popular light absorption shader the object doesnt need a thickness and thus can be perfectly been used in combination with the ocean modifier. Remember that these shader are very fake and might have their pro and cons.

Very nice. I never thought of this before.
Thanks :)
It is very cool, but does it not lack reflections?
Yes it does, but it is optional - I rendered nice ocean scenes without a reflection shader ;)
Well reflections are the most important aspect for rendering high quality water, but whatever.
Visually looks like http://www.blendswap.com/blends/architecture/frosted-glass/ I like it =)
