The new Aqua Series filters for GoPro are fantastic! Improved design offers the highest quality filter on the market, very durable and hard to scratch. A must have for shooting underwater with your GoPro. This filter is designed to offer correction at shallow depths (2 to15 ft deep)

Description

The Snorkel Filter is the perfect filter for filming in very shallow depths (2 to 15ft deep). This filter is a lighter shade than our Red Filter, providing a specifically targeted color for shallow water filming. The Snorkel Filter corrects for the loss of red light underwater, from depths from 2 to 15 feet deep. Without this filter underwater videos often look oversaturated with green and blue. By adding the filter you allow the camera to capture bright, vibrant, underwater colors. This filter is precision made for tropical and blue water filming, but also works well in green water. PolarPro’s patented snap-on design allows you to quickly install and remove the filter. Before your next tropical vacation pick up the Snorkel Filter and amaze your friends with beautiful reef colors.

Why Do You Need a Red Filter?

The point of a red filter is to compensate for red light loss which takes place under water. The reason being at about 10 feet you lose a significant amount of red light. The GoPro’s white balance is thrown off because of the red light loss causing the camera to record colors which are too blue or too green. A red filter compensates for the red light loss tricking the camera into recording natural colors the way you see them.
