I'm headed to the St. Lawrence River to visit some of the wrecks and was thinking of using filters instead of strobes but the wrecks are mostly around 100' which exceeds the recommended depth for the green water magic filters I was looking at. Anyone know if there's enough light at that depth for filters or am I going to need to stick to strobes?

At 100 feet even in the most clear of waters, only blue/green/violet light hasn't been filtered out by the water column. No amount of filtration or custom white balance can bring back what's not there in the first place. You'll get much better results selectively lighting part of the subject with strobes.

Thanks all for the replies. Thats what I was afraid of :-) Strobes it is.
