Underwater Diving Red Pink Magenta Filter for GoPro Hero 13 12 11 10 9

In this review the reviewer looks at a three-piece color correction filter set designed to replace the standard protective lens on a GoPro Hero 13, 12, 11, 10 and 9 Black when shooting underwater. The bottom line: this kit is for divers and snorkelers who want truer colors without changing housings or complex mounts. It delivers straightforward color correction for a range of depths and water types by swapping the stock lens for a red, pink (light red snorkel) or magenta filter, and that simple replacement is the single biggest reason to buy.

Key Features

• Direct lens replacement: The filters replace the camera's protective lens with a 45-degree twist, making setup fast and avoiding extra external clips or adapters.
• Depth-specific red filter: The red filter corrects color in blue or tropical water at depths from about 15 to 85 ft for more natural reds and skin tones.
• Shallow pink snorkel filter: The pink filter is tuned for shallow clear water or snorkeling between 2 and 15 ft, reducing the blue cast near the surface.
• Magenta for green water: The magenta filter compensates for greenish freshwater in lakes and reservoirs between 8 and 75 ft to restore balanced hues.
• Durable construction: Optical glass lenses with multi-layer coating sit in an ultra-thin aviation aluminum alloy frame for a low-profile fit in the waterproof housing.

Who It's For

This set is aimed at recreational divers, snorkelers and content creators who use a GoPro Hero 9 through 13 Black and want a compact, integrated solution for color correction while shooting in different water environments. It is useful when switching between clear tropical water, shallow snorkeling, and green freshwater lakes without carrying multiple housings or filters that mount externally.

Less suitable are photographers who require variable ND control, professional color grading workflows that prefer raw flat captures, or users who do not want to remove and reinstall the protective lens on the camera body; those users should look at alternate filter systems or post-processing solutions.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Simple 45-degree twist replacement makes changing filters quick and intuitive in the field.
• Includes three distinct filters (red, pink, magenta) that cover shallow to deep and blue to green water conditions.
• Optical glass with multi-layer coating and aluminum alloy frame offers a premium feel and low profile fit in housing.
• Compact kit fits directly into the diving protective housing waterproof case without extra adapters.

Cons

• Requires removing the camera's standard protective lens, which may be inconvenient for some users who prefer snap-on external filters.
• No additional accessories or protective caps are included in the basic package.

Our Verdict

The filter set is a practical, good-value choice for GoPro users who want reliable underwater color correction with minimal gear. Swapping the stock protective lens for a red, pink or magenta filter covers a broad range of conditions and keeps the camera low-profile inside its housing. Buy this if you want simpler, in-camera color correction while diving or snorkeling; skip it if you need non-invasive snap-on filters or advanced exposure controls.
