How blue is blue?

I was looking through some images from the different places I have been and it struck me that when we refer to blue water, that there are a nearly infinite variety of shades of blue that we see underwater. Well maybe not an infinite, but there seem to be a lot. Some of the clearest blue water I can remember seeing was in Tonga. Yep those hump back whales swim in pretty blue water.

But then there is blue water that just seemed even bluer to me maybe because I was ready to get out of the swim through or just tired of having someone swim over me.

Then there is blue water that sometimes just shocks people, I guess because it is so full of life .

Diving is exciting, just try to keep things under control

Sometimes even when we are fairly deep the water is so clear it just seems more like diving in gin, except without the alcohol.

But regardless of the shade of blue or the depth of the water it is just interesting to me to see what we see in the deep blue sea.

That’s all folks
