A very good question, here. Depth affects the ocean color based upon how much water is contained in that depth. Light, as we know, travels very fast. But when light begins to travel through water, it begins to slow down. In fact, it begins to move so slow that it eventually stops. This is why the deeper you go, the darker it gets. Did you know that sound moves faster in water than in open air?
