Anyhow, I suspect this will be another debate without conclusion... Blue! Green! Blue! Green!
Yes, usually the green colour comes from algaes and other sea life while clean deep water is dark blue. but also it depends of the sea life , currents, and depth.

With increasing depth underwater, sunlight is absorbed, and the amount of visible light diminishes. Because absorption is greater for long wavelengths (red end of the visible spectrum ) than for short wavelengths (blue end of the visible spectrum), the colour spectrum is rapidly altered with increasing depth and gives a bluish cast.



ps. what control the underwater colour in the game ? can be changed easily editing files ?
