Oh most definitely - I didn't mean to imply that you had to have them, especially if you are shooting mid day with a wide angle like the Go-pro uses, and like you noticed - you lost all Reds, Oranges and probably Yellows at that depth. Remember your dive class - ROY G BV - the order that colors are lost the deeper you go. These modern cameras have an amazing ability to use existing light, but if you want to do closeups or video of that sarcastic fringehead in its hole in full color, you gotta have it. Then of course there is night...

One light I've seen on the dive boats with greater frequency is the Underwater Kinetics Super Q. I think a mount could be fabricated for the Go-Pro housing quite easily. As a bonus, they are a San Diego company.
