According the the graph, the visibility is better at the surface and worse at greater depths.
The visibility is better at greater depths because there are more microorganisms at the surface which make it cloudier closer to the surface and The visibility is worse at the surface due to plastic and pollution that floats at the surface say the opposite of this (the visibility is bad at the surface and better at greater depths). These answers do not explain the trends of this graph.
The visibility is worse at the surface due to plastic and pollution that floats at the surface is the only option that describes why the visibility would be better at the surface and worse at greater depth.
