Went to Aruba last week and dove the Antilla, here are some pics if anyone
wants to see them.  First time with an U/W digital camera so don't expect
too much.

Were you using the flash? Was the other diver using a flash?

Using the flash in a point and shoot camera will cause a lot of backscatter.

I have been messing around with your images, they can be improved quite a
bit with Photoshop.

The reason I am so interested is because I have a new camera and strobe, as
yet not tested in actual sea conditions, I am trying to learn as much as I
can from others before the trip.

Email me offline if you would like to correspond.

I was using the flash and now realize that I should have turned it off on
the far away shots.  My camera is a canon A70 in the canon housing.  I did
some shots on auto and some shots on the P setting using the cloudy setting.
The annoying thing was the shutter lag, I could not figure out how to turn
off the redeye flash. All of the pictures except the close-ups had that blue
color so I touched them up using Paintshop Pro's automatic color balance and
adjusted the contrast on some of them.  When I have some more time I'll post
the originals so you can see the difference.  I am also going to post some
pictures I took on the Pedernales dive I did a few days later.  I tried to
adjust my technique a little based on what I saw from the first dive.

I don't know what camera Max was using but I can probably find out, I have
his email.

I found that a lot of my shutter lag is due to the auto-focus.

Paintshop Pro is good, in general I would say that Adobe Photoshop is
better.

More offline. I have your email address.
