What post editing software do you use. It is quickly becoming my preference to have a 'white' reference on me and white balance correct in post-production.

I'm not a pro...just a thought

I have equinox hd6 housing...not camera

I use sony vegas 9 pro.

What's the water color where you normally film? Blue or Green? And to what depth do you film?

Equinox lists two options for your housing - Internal drop in/push on/screw on Internal:
Underwater Color Filter - Equinox Underwater Video Housings by SoupCan Inc.

or push on External:
External Color Filter - Equinox Underwater Video Housings by SoupCan Inc.

Either is available for blue or green correction.

Both should be removed below about 70' so External might seem to be the better option.
Of course it's the more expensive of the two...lol.

It appears that you have the right one already so I'm not sure what you're asking.

A lot of mfr's buy their filters from UR/Pro. Their website has a good tutorial on selection:
URPRO Patented Underwater Correction Filters

Here are the movies i`ve made so far with camera. The movies are not edited for the moment. Do you think i need an upgrade on the filter or the filter did the work right? No lights were involved

The footage was filmed between 10-20m (25m sometimes).

I think you have the right filter. Does your housing have access to manual white balance ? If not, try some color correction in your editing software.
