Refraction

∙ 11y ago
This phenomenon occurs due to the refraction of light as it travels from the air into the water. When light enters the water at an angle, it changes speed and bends, causing objects beneath the water's surface to appear shifted and closer to the surface than they actually are. This refraction effect makes the water appear shallower when viewed from the outside.

Why is there light and dark patch in the ocean floor when you look at the sea?
In shallow clear ocean waters, the brighter areas are generally white or light colored sands. The darker areas are rocks (often coated with vegetation), reefs, or grassy areas. The grassy areas are usually the darkest. Additionally, deep water will appear darker than shallow water for areas with a uniform bottom coating (imagine the diving end of a swimming pool compared with the shallow end). Thus things like blue holes will appear darker than the surrounding shallow waters.
