Push the vibrance/satuaration and increase the contrast and it usually comes naturally. Mine would have looked like that if I hadn't desaturated the sky a little.
The Abyss I like the foreground, not sure about the blue sky!
Just my usual imageflow, did a little tweak to the white balance in ACR, then in PS a little crop then monotone levels, bumped the highlights 20%, shadows 10% and then 30% saturation in the highlights. Didn't bother with nr/sharpening since its just for the web.
and a before/after animation
Despite the fairly extreme contrast/saturation i've used masks to maintain image integrity.
