Are you diving in green water? Do you have an external strobe?

1. Start by setting the white balance manually.
2. Get real close to the subject.

FYI there is a new Magic Filter for green water.

I had an F810 with no strobe for a long while and managed to get pretty good results. I would say use the diffuser card thing for the flash (at least it's a card for the ike housing i don't know about the fuji). Try to get within a foot if you're using the flash to get any details. I always use RAW format so i can set the white balance after the dive. I take a lot of available light pics and use photoshop to set the white balance and strip out some of the green.

I have one too.. White balance is the key IMO. I was having the very same problems. Also, as mentioned previously, getting close to the subject helps a bunch as well. If anyone has a F810 they want to get rid of, I am looking for a back up camera.
