Try Vivid Pix. It does all the simple stuff easily and well, is designed for underwater pix, is cheap, and you can try it for free.

I personally use adobe premiere for my editing. Not that hard to use and if you get stuck on something there is a lot of tutorials on YouTube to help out.
 
Um, isn't Premiere for video?
 
I believe you can also download a trial version of Lightroom for the purpose of testing it.

Hi, Thank you for recommending Vivid-Pix. www.vivid-pix.com

Yes, a free trial version is available for download and I think you'll find that it is a lot easier to use and much faster to fix pix than these other software's (that are very good). We simply designed Picture-Fix specifically for underwater pics.

Please let me know if you have any questions about it.

Rick,

Looks interesting... I may give it a shot after my next trip. Question though about the video on the website with the example photos... Impressive changes in white balance. Is that working with RAW, or basic JPEG's?
 
Found Adobe Photoshop Elements 9(comes with Windows 7) to be excellent for post-ed. Took a while to work myself in without tutorials, but well worth it.
Enabled me to 'save' some stuff I ordinarily would have tossed.
 
Photoshop is great if you want to invest the time in learning to use it. Infinitely powerful, with an extremely steep learning curve. On windows, I use either Paint or Paint Shop Pro. Paint shop pro is in between the two for power, ease of use, and cost. There are some canned effects in PSP that I really like.

0according to the FAQs this works only with JPEG and not RAW.

You can launch Photoshop, then select File -> Open As -> Select "camera raw" from the pulldown, and then select your image. This will open a compressed JPEG or other file (TIFF, GIF, PNG etc) as if it were a camera raw. I do this occasionally to correct white balance because the white balance tool in adobe camera raw is really nice.
