How to photo edit underwater pictures - the basics
5 - altering vibrancy - usually adding more colour (to the muted colours)
increasing vibrancy essentially increases the intensity of muted colours - not all
usually we have lots of muted colours when snorkeling - corals, algae, sponges, rock, rubble
Photo edited without vibrancy
If your photo-editing software offers this, try it out. Vibrancy is like saturation, except vibrancy is more selective and affects muted colours more than already intense, strong colours.

Not sure this is adding anything here. Sometimes it works a treat. I'll just go for 10%
(do I want any?)
