Decide what ocean you want to create this underwater adventure. Tropical may have brighter fish while colder oceans may have bigger fish and different kind of sea life.
Research on the internet and collect images to help guide your design of the creatures and plant life.
Collect images of: sea weed and grasses, coral and rocks, fish and octopus, and star fish. Once you have real photos of these sea creatures, begin to stylize them by making changes and sketching your version of this animal.
Choose one or two more creatures to include in the story.
Some ideas you might consider: turtle, seahorse, shark, eel, sea monster, sunken ship, polar bear, seal, alien space craft.....

Animate your story
Move your objects to layout and arrange them in an interesting way. Place your camera at an angle where you can see most of your characters. You might want to add more light to your scene if everything looks dark.
Make sure all your objects have a texture or image applied to their surface. Check your camera view (6).
If everything looks good, press F9 to render a picture of your underwater world. If you like the photo, save it as a jpeg. If you see problems, change the camera angle, get closer, move the lights and look again.
At the bottom of the layout window type in 2000 frames for about 1 minute of animation.
Use endomorphs on the fish and octopus to make them move.
