crystal-clear waters
Transparent swimming depths
Crystal-clear waters are bodies of water so transparent you can see straight to the bottom.
The phrase appears constantly in travel writing and tourism marketing, describing pristine lakes, Caribbean seas, or mountain streams.
It has become somewhat clichéd through overuse: The brochure promised crystal-clear waters and white sand beaches.
