Best Answer

In the first 3 ft., more than half of the light that penetrated the surfaces is absorbed by the water. Red is the first to be completely absorbed.

By 30 ft., only 20% of the original amount of the surface light is still visible.

Blue light is the last to go. At around 100 meters or 330 ft, only .5% of light is visible.

Red: 1 m/ 3.3 ft

Yellow: 10 m/ 33 ft

Green: 50 m/ 165 ft

Blue: 100 m/ 330 ft
