Pink Water???

[Hydrodynamic]

I took my C4040 to the Bahamas and some how got 4 or 5 pictures where the water is actualy pink. Now I'm sure it wasn't that color when I was in it, so I'm not sure what happened. Pictures were at about 25-35 fsw on a sunny day, any ideas what I might have done wrong?

Sounds like a white balance problem.

Are you manually setting your white balance? If so, you need to readjust WB whenever you change depth or the ambient light changes.

The fact that the images are pink suggests that you set the WB at depth and then forgot to change it when you came to shallower depths.

Thanks, I'm sure you're right, I was on my way up when I took the pink pictures.
Thanks again.
