For the shot above this doesn't count as a dive.
This is more snorkelling virtually at the surface with a camera. It was in about 2', ie less than a metre down. Did we even need to breathe through the snorkel at the time?
Being so near the surface, even though the camera lacked adequate colour balance settings, the colours were retained. So, there's a good range of pinks, yellows and greens.

Above, the surrounding rocks did look like that. It was not the most photogenic area.
To the right, a shot with a camera with 'white balance = underwater' setting. Important. No colour saturation or vibrancy has been applied.
The fish to the right was shot at a greater depth than the one above, but still shows that a basic camera can perform well in extremely shallow and well lit water. But not in deeper water.
