    Hi Paulo, I think colour is generally a matter for your personal taste and artistic vision. We all see the world differently, and underwater conditions (including backgrounds) vary dramatically, so colour perception and appreciation can be very subjective. I don’t see any problem with the colours in your photos. Starting with a raw image, I think a useful starting point is to check the exposure of your photo, then correct any unusual white balance issues, and from there you are in a good position to adjust the colour or leave it. There is a good webinar by Erin Quigley here on the UW Club Events page in which she talks about these steps. It looks like your friend’s photo might have a ‘vivid’ colour profile applied to it in post processing
