Underwater lights for pool

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I have a question that I guess is pretty general but I just cannot figure it out.

I'm working on a SPA interior, which is completely underground and has no sunlight. The space is round and in the middle of it there is a 200m2 pool, one side having a glass wall. I'd like to know how to I create that underwater lights so that my pool would really come out as the main object in the interior. As you can see now my pool looks pretty dark and lost in the surroundings. For water I am currently using slab with still water material.

So do I fill it all up with water, or just put it at the top of it and what do i do with lights (what light sources to choose and where to put them)?

There are a whole bunch of YouTube movies on rendering here ...

In particular you may want to look at number 24 which is about caustic lighting effects in water.
Hopefully it may be of help.
