What about the views did he see
The light, which lit the soil thirty feet below the surface of the ocean, astonished me by its power.The solar rays shone through the watery mass easily,and consumed all colour, and I clearly distinguished objects at a distance of a hundred and fifty yards.Beyond that the colours darkened into fine shades of deep blue, and gradually disappeared.Truly this water which surrounded me was but another air heavier than the Earth's atmosphere, but almost as clear.Above me was the calm surface of the sea.We were walking on fine, even sand, not wrinkled as on a flat shore, which keeps the impression of the waves. This dazzling carpet, really a reflector,drove away the rays of the sun with wonderful intensity, which accounted for the vibration which passed through every atom of liquid.Shall I be believed when I say that, at the depth of thirty feet, I could see as if I was in broad daylight
