Here is a link to an article I wrote on diving with a camera. I would love to get feedback and suggestions for making it better.

I think it is very well-written and goes over a lot of the important basics, like buoyancy control, courtesy and going slowly.

I really appreciated the PS tip. Do you have any more? Also, the one thing I cannot seem to do is aim my strobe correctly. The darn thing is a mystery to me. I feel like selling it and relying on manual white balance, but you should see some of those I messed up too. LOL

Usually you won't be shooting more than arms length away. I usually aim it for that distance by holding the camera at arms length and doing it manually...

For more distant or wide shots, try taping a small dive light to it to help get the aim.
