Doesn't the sea reflect the sky irl or is that a lie that I was told when I was a kid and never found out the truth? If so, our waters are blue and must be reflecting a sky!

No, it's actually the nature of water to be blue, the reflection of the sky can help make it appear bluer though, the natural color of water is blue-turquoise in unfiltered conditions, water is only slightly tinted meaning it takes thick amount of water for the light bouncing through it to be affected enough to be visible,
The compounds and particles in the water also affect the color, and the reflection of the sky has a minor impact on the water, as the skys coloration has on most reflective surfaces.
