Sure, get a lab in there, and you can gateway prepared armies into the lake. Forcing your opponent to create water breathing items to get you out of the lake. Against nations that cannot branch into water paths easy, it really gives you a nice forward staging post.

Get the barrel of air and Sea kings goblet, and your teleporting, gateway, ferryman mage can transport a lot of troops. (The only problems are the lack of leaders in the lake, and the lack of leadership of most mages).

I like your thorn strategy.

If I remember voice of tiamat (?) can be very nice for land site searching and is castable only underwater.

Water Royalty (underwater) can be sweet too. I believe one is amphibian.
