The “dead reef” look is mostly due to water absorbing light. This affects the colors you see underwater.Differant colors of the Spectrum are absorbed at different depths depending on the wavelength of the color. Low frequency reds are absorbed first-High frequency Blues and Violet last. While the reefs of the Lower Keys are far from pristine,this video has some nice examples of Keys DIVIN!
i just went snorkeling in key west yesterday and i went down to touch a nurse shark,…..all of the reefs look so dead i thought it was just the tops of them but almost all the way down like in this video the reefs look dead
some areas are crap like key largo and key west but places in the middle keys like marathon are much better try sombrero reef in marathon it is much better
really nice pics,
very clear and some really cool shots
i get to go down this summer again for my 4th time. Hoping to get some really good cool pics so i can make another vid of my own.
