From the Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire, neighbor to Aruba & Curacao.  These markers (In different colors- This was the only striped one I saw.) are all over the island, ostensibly to guide cargo ships, but have come to be used as markers for scuba divers and snorkelers.  The water there is such a vivid shade of blue, it's hard to believe it's real.  I removed the color from the beach (You're not missing much:  just the usual beige sand and green scrub) to accentuate the surf, and because I love playing with Photoshop!
