If it's underwater slide film you're after, there is a new Ektachrome called,
appropriately enough, Ektachrome Underwater (ISO 50/18°), with a cyan layer the
sensitivity of which has supposedly been boosted two stops to compensate for
cyan filtering. A friend of mine used this exclusively on a recent trip to the
Bahamas where he and his wife shot lots of the stuff. Beautiful colour
rendition. Used in daylight, it would probably be quite weird.
