Use the "custom white balance" setting. It allows you to store two settings at a time. I think that in "custom white balance", you point the camera at a white card or neutral gray card (dive slate works), make sure the whole thing is in the picture and then press the OK button before shooting. Learn the shortcuts so that you can do it with a single touch or two at depth. Then reset the white balance if you change depth up or down more than a few feet.

custom white balance will work nicely in the proper conditions. There is an article that I wrote here that gets into it in a little more detail.

Thanks again for the informed replies. It gives me some things to work on before my next trip.

Setting white balance at depth works very well on my camera. If there's not good white bottom area to use I bring a white slate.

I switch from white balance, no flash, to flash with no white balance. My external flash is decent so no white balance needed.

Remember to adjust say every 20 feet of depth or change in sun light. Once you get used to it it is fast.
