Those pics are awesome. What lighting set up did you use? Are those shots in RAW or JPEG?

I'm more on the video side of things underwater. So, I use video lights instead of strobes.
I use 2 Sealife Sea Dragon 2500 Lumen lights.
Most of the time I shoot in jpeg. I find when shooting in raw the camera take longer to process the images before you can take another.

I also white balance manually. It's a pain because you can't set a short cut. So, I have to scroll through the menu every time I shoot a new subject.

Thanks for the feedback! I don't use strobes either. But, I only have the one 2500 Sea Dragon video light. I have been considering getting a second one-- your pics have me strongly leaning in that direction. I haven't ever done anything with White Balance- so I may need to look into that. I don't do a lot of video-- mostly just shoot pictures.

You can set a manual white balance button, I don’t remember how but it’s in the manual.

I don't know if you can see in my profile picture. I have an extra extension on the arm. So, it gives me the flexibility better position the lights. I brought them (barely) used on eBay.

In the manual, it says you can set a shortcut for 10 of the settings. But I haven't been able to make it work. I even called Sealife.

Thanks again- I have always just used the the Auto White Balance.
 
Yes, I'm using the latest firmware.
It’s been a while since I set mine up, go to shortcut, select WB and push the ok button, maybe try a quick push??
You may be better off contacting SL and let them walk you through it.
