Do objects appear larger? Yes they do. An underwater object can appear 25% larger. A shark that appears to be 8 feet is really only 6 feet.

OK so you got me confused now, which is it bigger or smaller Another thing is my fish look bigger from the upstairs window than they do standing next to the pond.
