hi Vingster
Just when you thought this thread was dead eh?
I was just searching and found this one and thought I might be able to shed some (less Green) light on the subject.
You see, colour dissapears very rapidly in water the deeper that you go. The human eye loses Red first at a depth of around 8 metres, then blue then yellow etc. This is the reason why you will see scuba divers entering the water during daylight with torches. The colours only come to light when the torch is shone on the fish/reef etc. You will see this in any underwater film footage, the colour is always in the spotlight and everything else looks green.
I threw in a shot of me with some fishy friends. In this shot there are colours on view even at 12 meters or thereabouts, a flash was used and I was diving in Malta with very clear water on a white sand bottom which helped. Again, this was a disposable camera with an underwater housing.
