Hi everybody!
About a month ago I went on a scuba dive at the Argentarola diving site. It's in Italy, and more precisely in Tuscany (close to the Argentario beaches).
The weather was amazing and the water very calm, it was the perfect occasion to make some footage with my new GOPRO HERO 5.
I'm happy of what I saw but the visibility was very low. And the main issue I had is that in this video, as you can see, the predominant color is green. Do you think that it's because the water was too polluted or because I need a red filter?
 
Yep, a red filter would help....did u forget your reg upon entry?
 
Find some editing software for your video, that can apply color correction. All that a red filter, or any filter, does, is to remove certain colors before they get to the lens. In post-production, you can apply the same "red filter" as a software function. I don't work with video, don't know what plug-ins you can get for that, but "color correction" and other filter plug-ins are on the market.
