The surface is perhaps radioactive? A geiger counter could be clicking away in the background. Some areas could be hotter than others.
This is a very clever idea. The ocean represents a vast area in which to put bases (i.e. levels) for an fps game. Old tech weapons (harpoons and knives) with the occasional laser blaster. The past and the future jumbled together, with nothing from the present in evidence.
Whatever you're planning it looks good so far.
For ideas on underwater bases:
I just found this wonderful link to photos and description of an old Soviet sub base that, while not itself completely underwater, has an incredible look and feel that should fit in with what you are doing. It looks like a video game! I just wish the pictures were bigger to see the details of some of the hardware.

You've got to check out this review of actual underwater hotels! The first ones are impressive enough but the ones under construction look spectacular.

I also found this conspiracy theory of a alleged UFO base under the water off California (could this be a backstory in your game?):

Anyway, cheers Xaron and good luck!
