What do you guys use for filters when shooting video in lakes and whatnot that have a green tint from the algae blooms?  I've shot some video on my SeaLife HD, but it's obviously very green and I want to cut some of that out.  Thanks.

Here is a guide for which filter to use in different conditions.
For green use a magenta filter.

Can you even put a filter on that camera? I looked at the specs of it online and I couldn't find any information regarding filters.

Personally, I use a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema in a Nautical housing with a GoPro Hero 3+ Black riding as a B camera. For both cameras I use Snake River Prototyping 55mm filters. The Cyan gets used in salt and the Green filter gets used in fresh water. The GoPro uses a filter mount, but I have to use a 58-55mm step down ring with the Blackmagic.

Generally speaking you want to use a magenta filter for green water and red for blue water.



Hope it helps.
