Red filter for underwater digital photography

[Sk8te]

Hi guys,

am going diving tomorrow evening and just got myself a WP-DC700 casing for my Canon A70. Now I am looking for a red filter for this and I read on the net that there are some red filters that I can cut to shape so I could insert them inside my underwater casing....was wondering if anyone here know where I can get some of these "cuttable" filters....I assume that it is like plastic wrap type of material so I could cut them....

Anyhelp at all please...thanks!!

Just did more research....realised that they are called gel filters....anyone with any knowledge to share? Esp where to get them in singapore....

do u mean those used by studios lighting? if i am not wrong, it is a bit expensive, and mostly comes in large size?
maybe try out those shops like cp or ruby?
