My wife wants Sunautica now. But looks like it wont be out soon. She already has Endless Ocean. What other games could she try? Aquanauts Holiday games came to mind, but those are a bit pricey.

Does she have Endless Ocean Blue World as well?

I've also heard good things about the Everblue series on the PS2. The first game never got a release here in the states might be able to emulate it though. The sequel Everblue 2 did get a U.S. release but I have never tried it.

She could also try Depth Hunter:

I think it detracts from the beauty of exploring the ocean when your job is to shoot fish, but it does have some lovely under da sea graphics.

That looks really pretty jt, but I think she wants non-violent. She might download the demo... she's excited it's a fellow redhead haha.

Ecco the Dolphin? Aquaria?

Possibly FarSky? I haven't played this one yet, but it looks like it focuses more on building and exploration than it does on violence, though you do have to hunt for food to survive.

Aquaria is actually quite violent, and although the graphics are really pretty they are on the cartoonish side of things.
It is a very good game though.

Two former members of Team ICO who were working on The Last Guardian struck out on their own with members of people who worked on Battlefield 3, Bionic Commando, and Killzone. They are working on this new project called Vane that involves a lot of exploration and mystery.

RPS describes RPS as Amnesia + Psi-Ops, and that's just about all I need to know. The trailer suggests perhaps a hint of Slender in there too, but it looks like quite a good first person horror title.
