Cyan filter

Does anyone know where I can get a cyan filter for an Ikelite housing? I've been shooting a lot of video in the local quarries and I tired of looking at greenish video.

URPRO Filters probably has one. They sell a CY filter and also a GR filter specifically designed for green water which I believe is what you need as I use a CY filter in blue Caribbean water.

See the "Filter Instructions" link for help in determining the right one. Ikelite gets them from URPRO.

Ikelite sells the CY filter, but I think it's the blue water version.

Yes URPRO makes something specifcally for this purpose but you can buy color corecting (aka "CC") gells at any good protography store, one that catters to professionals not a "mall store". These cost only a few bucks and can be cut to fit. If it's a real "gell" water will destroy it but
some "gels" are made of plastic, those would be best. The trouble is the CC filters come is three colors and many gadations of density, you need to know what you want.
