I only saw a bit of the video on my dentist's phone yesterday (he wanted to share it with me due to known interest).

But carrying a color card doesn't seem terribly different from use the sand as the WB point, so it still seems like maybe an exaggeration is being made, and something odd about calling it The Algorithm to give it extra importance.

I'll wait for the written paper.

Seems to me you're exaggerating the importance of the word algorithm. It's nothing more or less than some program code to solve a problem.

Anyway, I am not expert on under water photography, just thought it looked interesting.

Paper you don't have to wait for, here you go:
