Colour Adjustment of photos

Help!!!!
I am a novice with digital photography. Have a Fuji F30 which takes
great underwater photos but cannot be fitted with a red filter to give
true colours. So the option is to adjust the images after saving the
picture using Serif Photo Plus.
Now the question .....
What do I adjust - Hue, Colour, etc and do I bring up red or take down
blue or something else.
I could spend a long time experimenting but I am sure there is some
wizard out their in virtual underwater world who can point me in the
right direction.
Thanks in advance

Don't be so quick to dismiss your housing as being unsuitable for
filters. UR-PRO may have the market pretty stitched up but there is an
alternative, and it will work with housings that do not have a filter
thread. Point your browser at http://www.magic-filters.com and you will
find one that is suitable for your camera, I would suggest the AutoMagic
as the F30 does not have manual white-balance.

There are several techniques that you can use to bring back the colour
in your photos in post processing. If you do a search on the "Mandrake
technique" you might turn up something useful. There are also some good
tutorials at http://www.digitaldiver.net, although it is primarily a
forum so join up to that and you can tap the wealth of knowledge that is
the DDN userbase.
