I want to make it more "tropical," but I don't know if that will be unrealistic or not.
Hi Marhkimov,

no problem about the question!

my answer is yes, the Meds looks for the most part of the seasons (a little bit darker in winter) as you can see in the pictures.
Meds waters have a greenish aspect even in the most deep zones (as in the Italy's West coast much deeper than the East ones wich is even more "greeny")
By my activity (i'm a "Frogman" of the Italian Navy Special Forces -"COMSUBIN"-) i can tell you that the underwater visibility cames to a poor five meters even in a deep range from surface to 20 meters (we always make undervaters couple navigation and/or hull attack training fixed with a rope .
Here some photos of us where you can see the colour and the underwater visibilitiy of the Meds.
