Coral beneath the water is blue The sun/sky reflects/refracts The mix of hydrogen and oxygen in the H20 The land is really dark so the water looks lighter Books and maps always show that the ocean is blue It looks like water, and water is blue Its not actually that the water is blue. The water is clear. The depths of the ocean cause darkness
