You may need an underwater strobe to bring out more color but heres what I was able to do with what you had. If you want to do this on your own you can download Photoshop CS5. Use channel mixer and levels to correct the color. You can also check out instructional videos on www.youtube.com

Great shots!

After your correction Jack.. some of those shots look way way over processed.... very pixelated in some. The colors do look better... but the shot is lessened by the distractions.

Is that due to the low quality images perhaps.... or is it the filter? Photoshop?

Underwater photography is really hard. Red light is filtered out by the water quickly so your images only contain green and blue spectrum without good lights/strobes. Photoshop allows you to color correct etc.... but ya it's small factors like you said, not the original file, no strobe, lights etc. I was just showing how he can improve the images with what he had.
