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.
