Underwater photography for me in the last 18 years, hasn't shown me alot of change. When I started it was Kodachrome 64, then there was Velvia.
Nothing I've used can beat Velvia. One must remember that when you are taking pictures underwater, all shots will pretty much be - if you can touch it distance, then the subject is in range. The background brightness can be adjusted with stops and of course you must - bracket , bracket, bracket.

p.s. Digital is where it's at, the future is digital. I've looked at digital SLR's but the price currently is prohibitive and one must curre3ntly also choose a camera that can be housed.:boom:
Velvia would be nice to use for u/w as well however I can not use it with my camera. It has no option for ISO 50 films. And I think it is too slow for a beginner.
I took a roll of E-100 VS u/w before and it was too blue. I thought it was because of me but seems others saw similar issues.
If you liked the E100-VS but thought it too blue then try the E100-S. This film has slightly less colour saturation and would be more suitable for the MX-10.
Of course it does depend on what kind of photos you are taking;
For Macro stick with the E100-VS (or S) but try the Provia 400 for wide-angle stuff.
For MAcro stuff, Velvia is still great film. I do have problmes with it on longer distance stuff, and probably provia would be better for that and wide angle.
