Supposedly in Croatia, water is tranaparent up to 51 m. It has something to do with the circulation of the Adriatic sea....we found ourselves on a good spot...that is what makes the sea so clear.

I was almost mesmerized by the pretty blue water in that first photo. That is a sight I could stare at. We only have murky rivers in our city which you might catch a disease from if you fell in ;p
