It's one of those settings that you'll need to experiment with. Different cameras have different White Balance settings and tendencies. Some will handle weirder lighting like for reefs better than others automatically. For Canons, at least, the best White Balance setting without having to custom set one is "Cloudy".

Most photo editing programs can compensate for White Balance issues to varying degrees. For example, I use iPhoto with a Mac which has "Temperature" and "Tint" adjustments.

One thing I forgot to mention is to be very, very patient. It may take dozens, or even hundreds of tries before you get a great photo.

Im glad you mentioned this actually lol. Im new to photography and I assumed that as long as the equipment was adequate and properly tuned the pictures would take themselves.
