the ozone layer is the blue bit isn't it. i'm pretty sure thats what it is, and the sea is actually blue when pure but its SOOOOOO see through that it makes no difference unless its like 100ft or something your looking through with a strong light on the other side

The refraction of the sun's light rays through the upper atmosphere disperses the different light waves coming from our sun. The impedance of the stratosphere absorbs a lot of light from the blue spectrum giving it a blue appearance, it is actually clear as you can see at night when you can easily distinguish the stars in the sky.

The water of the sea itself is mostly a clear liquied but with a high refractive and reflective constitution, there are some elements of non water particles in the sea which when stirred by the currents do give the sea a tinge of colour, however, the majority of the sea's colour is actually reflection of the overhead sky colouring. Where this is blue a blue colouring is added to the sea's colour and clounds cast a grey reflection.

Due to the refraction of light by the water ( place a straight rod into a bucket of water and see the 'bend') and the interference particles as you descend into the depths the available light has been dispersed leaving little or no penetrating light particles.

Who knows? The question that really needs to be answered is, what coulor does the human eye perceive the sea/sky to be? We obviously see it as blue/grey whatever but for all we know it might be red.
