Underwater movies not jellin for me. Can't Post
 Im Doing a Movie called Raise the Britannic
and there are scenes with Miniature submersibles underwater I was doing some test footage and noticed that at a certain angle the action looks bad and that my water is too light in color to
be 300 feet beneathe the Agean Sea could anyone tell me how dark the water should be
And How do I get sand to cloud up as the ship
starts to lift from the ocenan floor?

How much do blue Light filters that go on the front of the lense to give the effect of night durrng the day cost?

Depending on what format you are shooting, gels and filters are generally used to get the night effect so it should work for darkening the scenes. Dropping exposure also helps.
Since you are producing a movie, perhaps you should consult with u/w cinematographers who specialize in deep sea shots. Don't know what your budget is but if you are doing stuff yourself, then go with SFX and generate the sand yourself.
