I wouldn't bother with red filters. If you're shooting stills, just shoot RAW and adjust white balance in post. If you're doing video, the underwater white balance setting does a good job at shallow depth. Red filters would just steal light - they can be useful when you have no other option (i.e. cameras that don't support RAW), but RX100V provides you with a large toolbox of software-based solutions that do a much better job.

I am going to shoot video. I watched this video and it showed, visually, quite compelling reasons to shoot with red filters on both the lights and camera housing. The one they use is made by Keldan and costs $139. I am sure there is a cheaper alternative.
