There are three light zones in the ocean.
1) Sunlight Zone, also called the Euphotic Zone. The Sunlight Zone gets lots of light.
2) Twilight Zone, also called the Disphotic Zone. The Twilight Zone gets little light.
3) Midnight Zone, also called the Aphotic Zone. The Midnight Zone gets absolutely no light.
As the depth increases, the amount of light decreases and the pressure decreases.
