Did you go scuba-diving in the sea or were you training in the pool? If it was the pool, the chemicals in the water probably had an adverse affect on your fresh tattoo. I cant say how sea-water mixes with tattoos but instinct would say 'not too well'.
Depending on how smudged the tattoo is, an artist in your locality should be able to fix it up for you.
