What's in the water? Rio diving pool turns green
Brazilian Olympic organizers have done their best to ensure green is the dominant color at Rio 2016, but it's doubtful they were behind the water change at the diving venue.
Just one day after diving events were conducted in pristine blue water, the venue's water is now a green shade, while the water polo pool at the same site remains blue.
Can anyone explain why the water's turned green at the diving? No one here can. Pretty sure it was blue yesterday. pic.twitter.com/GYfap9Gzz0

Another look at the pool shows just how green it actually looks:
Diving pool water now green rather than blue. No explanation yet forthcoming. But it wasn't me. pic.twitter.com/kxnE11232Q

No explanation was given for the color change before diving events continued later in the day.
