I have the canon a620 and it doesn't have raw mode on it. I actually just started getting into u/w photography so all i have is the internal flash.
White Balance?

Having internal flash only is no problem if you dive in clear waters. I haven't had an external strobe before my last trip and I've been able to get some decent shots with white balance only. I very seldom used internal flash since it illuminates so much backsatter being so close to the lens.
Diver Dennis:
In most (all?) digital cameras, if you capture in RAW and use RAW to start the editing process, it does not matter what the WB setting is, because RAW just captures exactly what each pixel sees, making no adjustments to color, sharpness or exposure. Any WB adjustments are done in the editing stage.
It is only if you are capturing and editing from jpeg images that you should try to get the WB settings right. This is because jpeg is a lossy compression algorithm and therefore the amount of editing that can be done is limited.
