I don't do video, but I would imagine that setting white balance by depth alone would not be particularly accurate - for starters, you have sunlight coming in at different angles depending on location, season and time of day, so while you might be at, say, 10 meters of depth, the sunlight may have gone through 12 meters of water to reach you, or it may be 18 meters, or whatever other number. Then you have weather conditions - clear sky, cloudy overcast, haze, etc - this will affect color temperature of sunlight before it even reaches the ocean surface.

Excellent points.  Thank you!
