WOW, manual white balance Can't Post

Been shooting underwater video for fun using a Gates housing and Sony 900 camcorder. Been happy with the results, but noticed a clear decline in color below 60 feet.
Finally got around to doing a little experimenting with manual white balance.
HOLY SMOKES BATMAN.
Here is a clip shot at 90 feet without lights, white balance manually set using the sand.
I have NEVER got footage with color anywhere near this good below 60 feet using auto white balance.

Ron, did you use a red filter with this or manual white
balance only?

Thanks

Things aren't always as they seem, or
maybe it just seems that way :)
