The ocean becomes suddenly deep on the western edge of the Grand Bahama Bank, and here it becomes an inky black. Coral reefs are also visible around the Florida Keys and in the Golfo de Bataban of Cuba. Near land, sediment may also be coloring the water. Like coral reefs, sediment reflects light through the water, giving it a bright color
