OOOOOH! This is PERFECT for me right now. I've been working on a ocean/summer poem for a couple of days and this is JUST what I needed.

You guys are great!

peace,
Donna

Mucho thanks, Guys–these are awesome additions. I’ve done lots of snorkeling, but no deep sea diving. Interesting about the red Liana–i did not know that. I guess I’ve never been deep enough. 🙂

I'll add a bit...

The first color you lose underwater is red, so blood looks greenish 20 feet down and most red fish show up green or black. So unless you have a light shining you won't see red.

At night you get bioluminescent algae that can make the waves glow or show up like stars in the water.

When SCUBA diving what you taste is your mouth and maybe the breather. The mouth can get dry and some people chew starbursts or candy to compensate (on the boat usually).

There's also the sound of the anchor chain moving in the current - metal scraping metal. And the sound of someone banging a dive tank. Some fish chirp or click.

There are lots of different colored fish, parrot, damsels, etc. I'd be here days listing them all :O

But there is a sound you can hear when you stick your head under the water. There is a crinkling crackling clicking clacking sound that is continuous and always present. It is the sound of sand and rocks being shifted, rolled, tumbled and moved by ocean.

You can also hear boat propellers/engines.
