Paper describes an investigation of water penetration capability of multispectral photos. The 

 primary objective was to examine factors affecting the ability to detect and identify objects 

 in coastal waters. Multispectral photos of underwater targets were made at test sites near 

 Long Island, New York, and Santa Rosa Island, Florida. The spectral band between 493 and 

 543 nanometers gave the best water penetration when film was exposed properly. The tests 

 showed that the time of day and altitude of the aircraft had no significant effect on the 

 depth penetration if there was no sun glitter on the water surface. The effects of particulant 

 matter in the water on depth penetration was examined and the results given. Multispectral 

 additive color viewing gave better chromatic enhancement of surface and underwater objects 

 than color film. An isoluminous color technique for enhancing subtle spectral differences of 

 submerged features and within water bodies is described.
