Tiling an outdoor fountain - which grout?

I am tiling an outdoor fountain bowl (inside) with glass mosaic sheets. I have already used the Mapei line of mortar for glass tiles, mixed with Keraply. Tiles are set, just need to grout.

My dilemna: there are not many options out there for submersible grout. Any comments/experiences/what-not-to-do's? I need to get this thing grouted...

Thanks!

Did you check with a pool store. Tile is used on pools. If any are open.

Any sanded grout is fine. There are sealers for grout, but not applicable for constant wet conditions.

There are epoxy grouts, but tricky to work with.
