I'm just curious... rather than pushing it below zero meters, why not 
raise the region's water level with osSetRegionWaterHeight() 
(http://opensimulator.org/wiki/OsSetRegionWaterHeight)? This will still 
look funny to neighboring regions who have the default water level, but 
would look much nicer within your project's region(s) while avoiding all 
the physics issues.
