Visit your local dive shop and have them send the photos to the Kodak SeaLife processing plant. You'll be very pleased. I looked around for some comparison photos I had posted months ago but I can't seem to find them. The difference in color was remarkable.

My advice would be to visit a local minilab, Ritz or otherwise that has a Fuji Frontier printer. Talk to the person doing the printing and tell them what you need. Ask if they have experience printing underwater photographs.

I worked for Ritz Camera part time during my college days. This was a little more than 10 years ago. We had a Noritsu 901 and then a 1201 printer. The machine was analog but you could program in color corrections. The biggest mistake a lot of operators made in printing u/w photos was that they were printed too light.

If you are unsatisifed with your minilab, send some of the negatives in for Kodak Sea Processing for reprints. I'm told that Sea processing does help reduce backscatter caused by illuminated particles in the water.

I meant Kodak Sea Processing. If you search back about 6 moths or so you might find some threads about it as well.

Find a Professional lab and take them there.
