To start this off, yes i know of the mod Oceancraft...
Now, my suggestion is a large biome with almost no islands that is pure OCEAN. There are many items and small, tropical paradises in this biome and i will go over all of it.
Islands
In this vast ocean there will be arrays of islands complete with waterfalls and new jungle vegetation. The vegetation gives a more "tropical" look to the islands, palm trees perhaps? Also, a new bush that will drop pinapples every once in awhile. As for animals that live here, perhaps monkeys?
The Ocean Itself
A very vast ocean has to have a use of course, this is where the new concepts come in.
Coral- Coral is a plant that grows on the ocean floor and comes in various colors (purple, cyan, and yellow). Its use is for decoration (can only be planted on certain surfaces), and also you can add a torch to it to make coral lights (ohhhhh my name, see what i did there?).
Sharks- Minecraft is about risks (i.e. going into a dark and spooky cave for diamond hoping you wont get your **** blown off by a creeper) So in the ocean sharks will lurk about for your flesh (alot like the mo' creatures mod with the shark tooth system).
Ocean Ores
-Smoothstone- Rare stone used for decoration, weaponry (smooth sword).
-Pearls- Used for armor (if you can find enough, they are rare), this armor is very strong and has a nice sheen to it.
-Iron ore- This is already in the game, but the ocean is full of iron ore, ready for the taking.
New Items
-Scuba Gear
Helmet
Tank
Flippers
Suit
This has been suggested, and made a billion times, and whatever design is used is irrelevant. Anyway, when looking through the visor pearls will have a small speckle of light every 30 seconds that can be only noticed at small distances. So follow the light! The scuba gear will give you infinite breathing which brings me to my next concept.
Water Caves
There should be big or medium sized caves completely filled with water in the ocean, with all the treasures of the surface multiplyed! It will be very dark, so i need to explain another concept, handheld torch! This torch will be made from torches and iron to make a torch, when weilded, can illuminate the surrounding area (use lamps for real light). Nowthen, in these caves there are new mobs that will kick your ass if you arent ready.
Mermen- Not the most common, but as dangerous as skeletons, instead they shoot harpoons! (= to )
Sharks- Killers of the deep (= to )
Death Squids- Bigger than usual squids, black and red with bloodshot eyes, dont get too close. (= to )
Death Fish- Fish with a creeperish look to it, and will explode if you get to close :biggrin.gif: (= to )
I came up with the idea of this literally 5 minutes ago, and wanted to spitball it onto the forums and see what people thought, so?
I like this. One little tiny thing I need to tell you though, coral isn't a plant, it's an animal related to jellyfish and sea anemones.

"Minecraft? Realistic? Really? This is a game where you punch trees to get wood, you can make the wood into wooden planks in less than five seconds, and trees don't fall even if you remove a piece of the trunk from the middle. This is a game where animate corpses, giant spiders and exploding green terrorists emerge at night to hunt you down, farm animals run rampant across the countryside, and you can stop the flow of molten lava with a block of snow."

How DARE you bring education onto the internet!
It's my job.
Also, there need to be salps. Long, floating chains of transparent goo that simply swim by you, paying no attention to you.
