An indoor swimming pool appears sky blue from above, as light reflecting from the bottom of the pool travels through enough water that its red component is absorbed. The same water in a smaller bucket looks only slightly sky blue, and observing the water at close range makes it appear colorless to the naked eye.
Large bodies of water such as oceans manifest water's inherent blue color.

The hue of the reflected sky contributes to the perceived azure color of water, but most of the cyan color comes from the intrinsic color of water scattered back up to the surface by small suspended particles.
