Despite some pretty sub optimal conditions I really wanted to get in the water so I grabbed a 5/3 hooded vest to go under my 3mm and went to the Destin Jetty for the first dive of the year. It was overcast, the pass was churned up and just general bad visibility around 8' probably. I left my strobe at home assuming if I took many pictures I shouldn't expect too much and I wanted to haul as little gear as possible during the "death march", the long walk from the parking lot.
I ended up getting a few shots that were not too shabby using macro mode and the internal flash. The key with the internal flash though is being very close, any further than about a foot and it would be backscatter, reflections and garbage.
Even in low light conditions at about 40-50 feet the tg-4 can do pretty good, the auto focus struggled a bit and lots of pictures were out of focus but hard to complain considering the conditions.
