Your changes to my shot make it a little blue. But working from JPG is crippling.

Yes it is bluer. This is the combined effect of Dehaze and HSL.

I don"t know it was my monitor but the water in your shot seemed hazed and somewhat grayish so i wanted to show the effect of the dehaze tool.

Using Whatcolor (a tool for identifying the RGB of the pixel where the mouse-cursor passes by the water above the barracuda was RGB 112- 128 - 144.  In my version it is 102 - 102 -153.

Something that may come with the JPG rendering of your shot or with the white balance done to the original, and I found curious was that normally when I use the HSL adjusting tool try to change the Hue or Saturation of water in my "caribbean waters"  the sliders that move are Aqua and blue. When I did it in your shot the sliders were blue and purple.

I think you WB in the barracuda' s white.  I did a test to re-WB and used the Eyedropper in that zone WB sliders practically stayed in place ( just tint passed to -2).

Thanks and regards
