A green filter for warm water?? Really?
 
Water temperature isnt the deciding factor, it is water color. For clear blue tropical waters red. If you dive lakes of waters that are greener in color use the magenta filter.
 
Magenta for green water, though video lights would be much better!
 
Galapagos has blue-green water for most and very green in Isabella west
I think the best filter for this environment is actually the old URPRO only for the Isabella part you may want to use a magenta filter

Also it gets dark very soon and at that point filter introduces a lot of noise so you need to be careful with the ISO vs color.

In Darwin you are not that deep but is border line to no go for filters. If you go there when the water is colder ie September the sharks will be shallower and filter will work better but make sure you can remove it in water


This was shot in 2014 so long time ago on a RX100 MKII and URPRO filter
