I forgot to set my underwater camera for a white balance of "underwater" which would be the equilivant of having a red filter on the lens. The digital images all have a pronounced blue tinge with very muted colors.

I’m a novice with PS CS can anyone tell me how to replace the blue tinge so it’s clear and colorless ?

I’d open an adjustment layer (Layer-> new adjustment layeer-> Curves.) in curves, and then select the individual channels, move the center of the diagonal line up and down to see what looks best.
