 Underwater, you can c sense weather to see your approximate location.  You should be heading towards a point on the continent where there is a road adjacent to the ocean; ideal locations are Med City, Trellor, and Derah.  When you leave the underocean with your snail, it will act like a wagon train on land, and you can move it to any land tradepost like usual.  The idea is that you take a snail from a UO post to a land post, sell your goods and buy new goods, and haul them back to the UO post.  The land --> UO trip is usually worth much more, but you can't buy a snail on land.
-On the topography map above, you can see a chain of broken underwater "highways" running circularly around the continent.  When you're on one of these raised highways with your freight, you can move VERY quickly, so you should spend as much time at "Highway Depth" as possible.

With ruby boots, you can just hold down a move macro and you'll move as fast as the game processes the commands.  When you're on the highway holding a bladder, type DD to "stick" to the ground.  This will make you automatically move up and down with the terrain, up to a limit of 5ish rooms.  I think this is also required to move at highway speed.
 The difficult part is getting from highway segment to highway segment.  This involves moving through 20-30 rooms on the ocean floor, which is full of dangerous bottom feeders which have low hp but will kill you very quickly.  There are two ways to do this successfully:

-There are currently 5 tradeposts open under the ocean.  You can fly almost directly above them and type FLY DROP.  Make sure you have an Aquoderm's lung (to breathe water) and a Kraken's swim bladder (hold it to move uu and dd 10 rooms at a time).  When you fly drop, dd to the tradepost; it will appear to be on top of a pillar.

 The only freight type that can travel underwater is the giant snail, purchasable at the underocean posts for 2 million gold.  This guide will not attempt to cover the basics of moving around in the underocean; see the game help files for a pretty good explanation of that.

 There are 4 types of UO mobfaction coming, but they're not in yet.
-I did my first UO TR in about 2.5 hours, and made 13 mil.  It can probably be optimized because I had no idea what I was doing, but most of that time was spent fleeing and healing.  Until UO taming is in, this isn't really a viable way to make money.  The longer runs are actually worth quite a bit (upwards of 60 mil), but they require moving your snail across the content at wagon train speed, which you don't want to do solo.  It's probably extremely profitable if you can get a full form who knows how to do the UO segments.

 Worth noting is that your formation doesn't automatically follow you underwater.  Both the form leader and the follower need to mount seahorses (they spawn randomly and swim up to you).  The leader moves, and everyone else spams nn.  When you type nn, the game moves you in the direction of your formation leader.  Once there's a clear path (highways + tamed underocean), the leader can quickly spam through the underocean segment with everyone else spamming nn.  As long as nobody gets confused or AFKs or kills fish, this means you can get out of the ocean and onto land extremely quickly.  Please leave the fish alone.  They'll quite possibly kill you before you leave the tradepost if you linger for too long and the form starts killing them.  If this happens, you need to leave the area for 20-30 minutes until the DM "forgets" your terrible mistake.
