Linden water

I have the surface of my lake covered by textures created in water wizard, these look good from above but fails from underneath as you can see open space.
I want to create the look of water under the surface as well, just like Linden water, and I want guests to be able to swim in it.
I tried mega prims switched to phantom, 40% transparent and a light blue colour. Trouble is you can still see the woodgrain and you can't swim in it.

Can anyone help me get a few thousand gallons of Linden water or any ideas for getting similar water effects please?

wont fix your whole problem....
however switching from default to blank... will get rid of the woodgrain.

for people to be able to swim in Linden water, they need an attachment like The Swimmer in Siggys Waterworks (i think thats his name)

He also sells prim water that works the same with the attachment as Linden water.
I think you get the script with it, if you dont want to use his water prims so that you can make your own from your own texture.

Its been so long since I bought either of them, I cant remember but maybe that might take care of some of the problems you're having?
