One of the biggest issues that most amateur underwater photographer discover when viewing the pictures after a dive is that the pictures are too blue.
1. Get close to your subject.
The less water distance between you and your subject, the less colour is absorbed as it travels between your subject and your camera.
2. Stay shallow.
Water absorbs the colour so the closer you are to the surface the less colour that is absorbed.
3.Use a colour correcting filter.
Filters do not restore or prevent colour loss. What they actually do is help in balancing the colour so that the picture does not turn out too blue.
4. Use a strobe or flash.
This is by far the best method in overcoming colour loss for underwater photography.
