TheMenacer's idea is good. Unfortunately I have no information on hand and don't trust Wikipedia much.

Hidden in Snow: frozen corpses that have survived in ancient glaciers
Hidden in Sand: corpses mummified and protected by dry sand of ancient deserts
Reawaken Fossil: LA Abysia national spell to reanimate "the fossilized giants once defeated by fire in the valley of Megiddo"
1+2 = Hidden Under the Waves?
Water/Nature Aboleth hybrid crossbreed monsters with various terrifying abilities?
Water/Death ammonite monsters with thick shells and lots of tentacles? (I suggest
I should humbly point out that while glaciers and desert sands actually do allow a good preservation of corpses, be they human or otherwise, sea waters don't! They have just too good conditions for scavengers and decay-inducing bacteria. So there are almost no legends about dead in sea unless they are ghosts - and those are already in the game, actually in several incarnations.
Furthermore, Deep Ones and similar creatures are already in Atlantis army list (and some in R'lyeh). So it wouldn't be in style to include them in Oceania - they won't fit thematically. Triton shell chariots, on the other hand, were depicted often.. Speaking of which, maybe triton shell blowers should be added as well.
Some living corals/coral statues would be better - and probably fit theme more. Orcas would be cool as well - but it would be difficult to make them clearly different from sharks in game terms I suspect... I agree to "nature is pissed" concept for this nation, by the way.
Considering Scylla & Charybdis - they would be cool, but they are unique, so wouldn't probably do too much to add to general Oceania might.
