Filter for diving in Cabo

[lhargrove62]

Hi!  Help needed please.  I am going diving in Cabo San Lucas.   The water there is not clear like the Caribbean or Hawaii.  What color filter would be the best to use on my GoPro?  Thank you!!

I've tried various filters, but now use the Dive+ App.  It's color correction is generally spot on, but can be adjusted.

Filter or App depends on what you're using for a camera.  On my GoPro7 I used Magenta, Rose, or Pink snap on filters.  They gave good results on close-up (under 3 feet), but threw the color off on any distance, or if I used a dive light.  I could do good color correction with ffmpeg on the close ups, but the rest of it was a total mess.  I've since switched to a GoPro10, and added two 8000CP dive video lights.  I use no filters, and color correction with ffmpeg is a breeze.
