proper water plooms in films are not done using HE.

Depends on the productions requirements, and the proximity of the crew/cast. The water hits in the Thames boat chase for The World is Not Enough were Nonel initiated HE.

it looks like a waterplume will remain a mystery all i get is a loud click or crack followed by a gas and smoke bubble.
I believe you are placing your charges to deep, a water-plume is best done by placing a charge ½ meter under the surface or using a larger charge off course. I have heard that many utilise zink/sulphur propellant placed in a steel mortar standing on the bottom of the pond or lake or ...

As a newbee on the forum, I was silly enough to offer a presentation for the AGM on an SFX job I did for a feature film. It has been accepted, so I hope I can tempt some of you with an SFX biase to attend.
The presentation will be about the demolition of a large scale model of an indian temple that I did for a movie called "The Fall" (now out on DVD - get them while they're hot). The work involved numerous test firings and I eventually ended up using 176 individual sequenced charges to create the effect of a shockwave travelling though the structure.
I hope this'll be of interest and get more people to attend the AGM on the 21st March.
BTW I got some pretty good water plumes (and a few floaty fish) when I used some small C4 charges to break up a tree that was blocking a river, having fallen when its roots gave way (wasn't anything to do with the charge I'd buried near by - honest).
Hope to see some of you at the AGM.
