My submission for this week's Naviar Haiku challenge. 
"The vast kelp forests / create spooky habitats / blocking out the sun" by Meg / Haiku Lizard.

The track uses three gradually shifting melodies with a lot of reverb (and no dry signal) as well as some echoes to give an underwater feel. The top end has been rolled off quite a bit to remove some of the 'light' , and the tone control on the reverb (Strymon Big Sky) has been severely cut to avoid the high frequencies.  The burbling noises are pink noise put through a resonant Wasp filter, which has the frequency swept by a random output, and is also occasionally pinged by a randomly triggered and very short envelope. This is panned randomy, and also each side of the stereo field is treated with different EQ and levels of reverb / echo.
