Thanks for responding. If you look at my videos, they were all with the standard lens and i have been trying to do some color correction with Adobe After Effects. It makes a huge difference, but wow is it a pain to do. I am going to get the blurfix lens soon as well as their filters. Their products seem to be very high quality from what i have seen.
@ahstephenson Thanks! Most of the footage was at about 11-12m (~30ft) below. Yep, I used a red filter and natural light. Visibility was good on the day so there was a fair amount of light coming through. You'll notice as I get closer to the surface (towards the end) the footage gets more red since more sunlight reaches those areas and the filter isn't as necessary. Colour correction in software could help there.
Great footage. How deep were you and were you using a red filter on the blurfix lens? The color was much better than any underwater footage I have taken with the standard gopro lens.
@ahstephenson I do a fair bit of colour correction for my photos so any excuse not to do the same for video is a bonus! I would use the standard (UV) lens for near-surface stuff when colour correction isn't [as] necessary. The Blurfix is a basically a mount for the filters which convert the housing to a flat port. If the mount floods your GoPro is still safe in the rest of the housing. Worth it.

@phozographer Thanks :) Did you see the shark at the ~8min mark? See? Didn't want to eat me :P

@phozographer that's why I don't poke them (they can get grumpy). You would too if someone poked you while you were resting :P
