Whenever you develop pictures you've taken underwater with a film still camera, you need tell the photo lab that the roll contains underwater pictures. The people at the photo lab will probably process the pictures at +2 on the blue (I don't know what that means, that is what my camera guide says to do). :)
Everything I've shot and processed this way looks good. If you don't tell them, the pictures will too blue.

: What kind of enhancement do you mean? Digital? Darkroom? The former is done on a computer, the latter is expensive custom lab stuff. Better you make the enhancements BEFORE you take the picture. After the fact enhancements aren't as good.
: I've done primarily video lately, but it's my opinion that a strobe, used properly, will give you the proper color balance you need. Filtration can be used also, although it cuts down on the light. Unlike tropical waters, Great Lakes waters have a greenish cast, so magenta filters work better.
