Ocean Depth Light Profile

Beer–Lambert law: I(z) = I₀·e−kz. Scroll or drag on the water column to sample depth.

Euphotic 0–200 m (sunlit)
Twilight 200–1000 m (dim)
Aphotic >1000 m (dark)

Higher water clarity (lower turbidity) lets light travel deeper. Bioluminescent flickers appear once you're below the euphotic zone.
