Well im headed to the Bahamas tomorrow for diving so i'll give Av a shot. Im guessing you would recommend that i use Tv mode for the shark dives since they are fast moving correct?

2 - On the actual "feeding" dive, there is a chance you might not even take your camera down. They recommend against it, especially with an external strobe on the end of a long arm. Might be mistaken for food or a toy

6 - I too am perplexed by your "everything defaults to 1/60" issue. No issues here, as with Nemrod, as well.
dhaas,
I have not used my WA lens as much as I would like since I dive mostly Anilao and Macro. I have considered using Av mode on WA as I mentioned earlier I think changes in lighting conditions and subject distance varies greatly and quickly and it is very easy to miss the moment. having read through this thread, I decided to practice and work with Av mode next few times out with the WA and see if i can consistent results on Av mode. As I use a single Inon S2000 with my FIX S90, I will see how it affects battery life in this mode. The S90 battery life isn't the best to begin with and shooting Manual with 1/3 power on the on-board flash tends to help with battery life. I hope on Av mode that it will not be firing full power each time resulting in even less battery life.
This has been an interesting thread and has prompted me to re-consider shooting in Av mode vs. manual (at least with WA). For macro, manual isn't that much of a hassle.
