You'll see the transition from the shallow turquoise banks of the southern Cays to deeper blue water in the Tongue of the Ocean, then the approach to New Providence's southern coast. The Exuma Sound (deeper water) separates the two islands and is clearly visible as a darker blue band during the crossing.
