Do you find that you have to set the white balance more often in quarries where the vis is not so great?

For those of us without RAW...
Here in SoCal I change the WB frequently--especially right now as we've got some lingering clouds of red tide. You should reset anytime your available light changes (depth, shadows, clouds overhead...) This is more important when going from less light to more light because otherwise you'll end up with a red cast to all your pics (very tough to eliminate in PS.)

I have an a70 and setting white balance is so easy that I do it pretty often. I don't have additional flashes and don't want to screw up the picture with tiny internal flash. It only illuminates the debris. So if light changes at all I reset the white balance. Better to do it too often than get blue pictures. On the other hand when you get to lower depths or you get more light you need to reset white balance to avoid getting all red pictures.
