noob: how to get troops underwater

I assume you mean Niefelheim? They have water magic, so I'd suggest researching Construction and forging some items that give Water Breathing (for example the Sea King's goblet at Construction 6, which gives Water Breathing 100, or enough for 100 troops). There's also a global enchantment, Thetis' Blessing, that allows all land troops to enter the water.

Unfortunately, water nations have received no such love and aquatic troops can't really ever enter land, from what I know.

You don't need earth gems. The Sea King's Goblet is W3, which all Niefel Jarls get. According to the manual, that's 15 water gems, which is hopefully not too bad.

And, like I said, Thetis' blessing is the only way other way I know of, short of buying amphibious commanders and troops, to get units underwater. It's W5, so with a Robe of the Sea and Water Bracelet, you're good to go.
