Finally sense prevails. Resolve has a Color Match function for use with SpyderCheckr and X-Rite color checker boards, btw. Downside of course being that you need to include reference shots with each change in scene. Even a white balance (grey) card frequently in shot would be helpful in establishing neutral balance in post. In that clip Tormento posted I was able to use the white stripes on the fish as reference. In the other samples from that YT GoPro video I had to use what I could- a shell, whitish coral on rocks, a fish that I thought was maybe cool-greyish - and as a last resort, highlights in rising air bubbles from divers regulators, where not totally blown-out.
