Those ranges of colour temperature go from incandescent bulb to bright sky day
If those are the only choices you will need a red filter as in water you are easily above 7000-8000, the filter will warm up your range and add the few 1000s K you need

thank you...i didnt like how i had to remove the outer lens housing to apply the filter...it will compromise the seal sooner or later

You don't need to remove the outer lens. There are a few manufacturers making snap-on filters that you can attach or detach while in the water.

If you're going to be adjusting WB in post, I figure camera RAW would give you the cleanest image to work with. Other than that, I'm guessing the highest possible temperature you can set would be preferred, as you would rather have something that pushes more red into the shot.

White balancing requires not only temperature change but also tint change
Correcting WB in post processing only works for minimal adjustments otherwise noise is increased
With the degree of adjustment you can do with the gopro you need a filter if you want best results
