I am starting to get serious about my photography and all I can say is there are lots of things you can do.

First you should always white balance your camera before use.

Then you should try manually setting your camera for the shots you are taking. (practice outside the water).

First part is easy.

Second part takes a little more work, but you get to play with the light gathering capabilities of your camera and the focus settings at the same time.

I am awaiting my powershot G9 and underwater housing right now. My old nikon coolpix has little to no manual adjusting, but the G9 will have almost as much functionality as a DSLR. This means I am reciting things I have read, not things I have done, but you get the idea.

Good luck man!

Maybe we can start a "photography corner" for MARS. There have to be some experienced guys out there who understand the things I have been reading about.
