LOOK: No one knows why the Rio Olympics diving pool has mysteriously turned green

The pool looks much different on Tuesday than it did on Monday

The divers at the 2016 Rio Olympics were landing in pristine, well-maintained, crystal-clear blue water on Monday.

Well, a lot can change in a day.

During Tuesday's competition, many noticed something ... different ... about the water.

Why is the synchro dive pool green? The one next to it looks normal. #Rio2016#cbcpic.twitter.com/m46IqE70Hd

Something fishy about the colour of the water in the diving pool just now. Water polo beside it quite a contrast. pic.twitter.com/0mbcrdQPGl

#greenpool - @toniacouch says it was so green she couldn't see dive partner @LoisToulson under the water #Rio2016

There has to be some sort of rational explanation, right?

Commentator: "Why is the pool green?"

Organiser: "I don't know."

The mystery continues... https://t.co/imZ9mQJ1j8pic.twitter.com/NdtprWSDri

Unlike the Olympic organizers, the Twitterverse was much more forthcoming with theories about the green water.

Our coach used to tell us as little kids: a special chemical would turn the water green if you pee in it. It worked. https://t.co/G8TBIYsQNP

@BBCSport Green colour is caused by Copper in the local water not chlorine - copper reacts with chlorine & comes out as green, iron as red

The Associated Press' Beth Harris reports that Rio organizers are aware of the color change (how could they not be?) but despite being unable to explain it are sure it's safe (how can they be?).

Water at diving went from clear blue to murky green in 1 day. Rio organizers can't explain it, but say it's safe. pic.twitter.com/XmWfeFGJsq

While we await an official response at least we know it has to be safer than swimming in Rio's natural bodies of water ... right?
