How do you recognize different bottom types?

Be careful what you ask - you may get an answer very different from what you expected....
I figure that vaguely sandy coloured or grey-sedimenty "fuzzy" seabeds are just that, and are safe. Grey with a definite structure, mottled, slightly "lumpy", very "lumpy", or as round the north of the Orkneys (Scapa to the S), the seabed looks almost paved with large flattish blocks, I avoid. That all says hard and unwelcoming to me.
The observation scope isn't there just for decoration, or drying your newly-washed undies on....
