My photos with my Reefmaster Mini come out red in the "sea" mode. When I use the "landscape" mode, they're better, but on the blue side. I'm new to underwater photography, and would appreciate any advice.
 
How deep were you?
Sea mode is designed to add back the reds removed by deeper water. I found that while snorkeling using normal mode produced better color. I found this out the hard way and this should be useful to you, the red pictures are correctable using many of the standard photo editors. I just removed 40% of the red and added back in some blue and greens (mostly blue as I shot my photos on "sea blue")
 
Not deep at all; everything in Bermuda is fairly shallow: 25-70 ft. There's a setting for less than 25 ft, but still gave me red photos. Looks like I'll have to learn Photoshop..... Thanks for the input.
