About WG-3 Blue cast underwater ??

Is the blue cast during underwater shooting with wg-3 is due to improper dealing with auto white balance and the problem corrected after proper white balance selection or its Irrevirsable problem ?

Try setting the camera to underwater mode and see if that helps. It should!

I have no experiences with the WG-3, but the blue cast is more or less enevitable with any camera because blue light scatters much more than light of other colours (which is why the sky is also blue).

But here's a simple remedy that will work in most cases: Stretch levels in post-pocessing. This balances out the blue cast automatically and improves contrast:
