Best Answer

Sunlight, type of soil of the sea bed, dissolved minerals, and microscopic organisms living in the water contribute to the color of the water. Water will be clearer in a sandy sea bed, because the sand doesn't dissolve easily in the water. The more sun the water gets, the clearer it is because it keeps algae growth down. Minerals in the water change the color of the water.
