It is because other colours like red, yellow,orange, having longer wavelength than that of blue, are absorbed more by water than blue, having shorter wavelength. So when white light enters the ocean, blue colour is mostly returned and hence it appears as blue to us.

Answer:

The ocean is blue because water absorbs colors in the red part of the light spectrum. Like a filter, this leaves behind colors in the blue part of the light spectrum for us to see. The ocean may also take on green, red, or other hues as light bounces off of floating sediments and particles in the water.
