This folks is why I never could take up UW photography the 5 yrs I lived on the beach near Cancun - lighting is so important if one does not have a good lens & camera and like mentioned strobes on arms away from the camera for angled light is a must - most often.
Sorry to say the 1,000s of images I have of my snorkeling the reef are all in my head - not on film.

Lived and worked in the Western Pacific Islands for years...Nikonis was the simple answer then...I continue to wish for a Nikonis-like digital camera...something at least that tough...and dependable...they were very much "guesstamatic" but if you knew what you were doing they were amazing....When I was an active photojournalist...in the film days...I always had a Nikonis in my kit. Minor events like typhoons, explosives, mayhem, mud and chaos...that was The Camera of choice....
