One of the most important concepts in underwater photography is manual white balance. As a diver gains depth colors begin to fade, starting with oranges and reds. Manual white balance is a way of letting your camera see these colors and then adjust to reproduce them more accurately. Manual white balance allows your photos to appear in greater color and avoid a “washed out” look dominated by Blues and Greens.
You will need a white slate to use in setting white balance.
-Turn Flash OFF.
– Manually white balance every 5-10 ft of depth as water and light conditions change with depth.
-On most Intova cameras:
Press Menu Button

Make sure the white slate fills the whole screen while you take this picture.
-You’ve just manually white balanced!
