I have pictures of me holding my trophy fish on the boat. The water right next to the end of the boat (about 4 to 5 feet away) looks just as blue as the water 4 to 5 miles away. I will gladly email it to you as proof.

Color of ocean water varies. mostly if you fly at a very low height, during dusk, over any ocean, the water will appear muddy. And no ocean is colorless in the sense as a glass of water is.
The water in ocean appears to be blue, because of "Raman Effect".
The water molecules scatter blue light of the sun rays and appears to be blue.

The surface of the water in the ocean reflects the color of the sky, making it appear blue from a distance, but clear up close.

I don't think this is true.. maybe you just thought of it like that.
The sea is blue because it is reflecting off the sky.
If you want to know why the sky is blue, search for questions on here (I've seen it asked before a couple of times).

That's simple. Water is colorless, but appears to be blue because it reflects the sky.

The various colours of ocean depends mostly on the amount of oxygen inside it. Cold water has more oxygen in them and are then a darker blue.
It's the opposite for warm waters.
