Tom,
Did the red laser have the same reflection off the water?
We didn't try the red laser. The green laser had such better performance from others testing it, we didn't really waste time with the red one.
JFCOM testing showed the green laser to be visible during daytime (except high noon) out to 5 miles. The red laser is largely ineffective during the day. That was another reason not to look closer to the red laser.
