Above was a table of depth Vs colour but somehow it changed slightly from cutting and pasting it.

The left hand row is depth the top is the colour at the surface then as it gets deeper you can track what colour it will appear at that depth. Hope you can make sense of it.

I'm with you... I get it... we did a similar exercise when we did our deep dive on our Advanced Scuba course... everything changes at depth? pretty much all the colours disappear at 45 meters not to mention the nitrogen narcosis that affects the brain similar to a dozen beers or so.

Great info Pomerob - thanks Wink

I'm going to cut and paste, and then print and laminate it to take with me on the water. Just a question, will water clarity affect the changes? i.e. red in stained water at 6m will look rusty and in dirty water would look sepia or black...

Very interesting info to have... Thx Pomeee.... Wink

I agree with King Dinger... When I did my scuba course, they tell you about the change in colours etc at different depths... At 18m our instructor was bitten by a trigger fish on the finger and his blood was blue... Makes you think what the foooshies are seeing down there..... 8O :-?

And nooooo he wasn't a Blue Bulls supporter so don't even go there!!!! lmao....

Schollie, to answer your question, in stained water Bass use their lateral line to sense vibration and smell to find food/prey/lures.....
So the chart would be more true to clear water....

I think you're right Fab, vibration does play an important part in dirty water! I found this while looking around: <a class="postlink" href="http://home.comcast.net/~rkrz/infoarch/fyicolor.htm">http://home.comcast.net/~rkrz/infoarch/fyicolor.htm</a>
Hope it is useful. Wink
