Where is there a green sea?

[Ari]

Just looking at a Fairline brochure (yeah, I wish) and some of the photos are taken on a stunning green sea.

Any idea where this would be?

Corkin Atoll. Or possibly the straights of photoshop.


ETA Joking apart any stretch of shallow clear sea water with a sandy bottom will look green from above.

Yes. Even this is only humble Mallorca:

The Maldives for a start, looks green from some angles when you seen the white sand from above, turning blue as the water deepens as the island drops away to the sea floor. As mentioned though, you don't have to go somewhere exotic to see green sea, but the pure, white sand of the Maldives and other pacific islands like Bora Bora enchances the effect to where you can see that stunning emerald green colour.

On a tangent - The lakes of Solevnia in the Triglav mountains are a similar torqoise colour due to copper deposits, stunning it is.

Actually, I have seen this also (not in person) but on a music dvd, Cannibal Corpse's "Global Evisceration" dvd nonetheless, they stop off in Slovenia for a gig and stay in this little castle-looking lakeside hotel, next to one of the green lakes. The colour is pretty lurid, not sure how the copper would affect the wildlife though.
