    Water IS blue but not enough to explain why the ocean is as blue as it is

    While relatively small quantities of water appear to be colorless, pure water has a slight blue color that becomes deeper as the thickness of the observed sample increases

    Wikipedia

    The color of the ocean is due to atmospheric scattering affecting blue light (short wavelength) more than longer wavelength.
