Today's dive was a test of the use of a color correction filter.
This page demonstrates the results of using a filter in conjunction with manual white balance. The author suggests the use of an FL-B filter for blue ocean water.
I obtained a used 67mm FL-B filter from B&H Photo for $15.00.
I posted two comparison photos here. One was taken with a filter and one without. Both were taken with manual white balance and both then edited in Photoshop using only "Auto Levels".
My test is in no way scientific but you be the judge as to whether a filter is worth using.
