Thank you Yellowdog,
it is very hard to give a simple answer to your question.... the settings of aperture and Shutter speed are different between wide angle pictures and macro pictures... and even the positioning of the strobes are very very different between macro and wide pictures... ..
I suggest you to reed the book of Alex Mustard: UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY MASTERCLASS and to look at this internet site Guide for Beginners ... here you can find good suggestions to start with underwater photography or to improve your technic...

Thanks for the links. I am familiar with both. Especially interested in the wa settings. I understand each shot is different depending on light, distance, desired dof , ... I just assume you probably have a general starting place. What camera, strobes and wa lens do you use? Thanks

I use a Panasonic Gh5 in Nauticam Housing, two INON Z 330 strobes and the wide pictures are made with a Panasonic 8mm fisheye lens with a 4,33" Nauticam dome port
The macro pics are made with an Olympus 60mm macro lens and a Subsea +10 wet macro lens for the supermacro subject like the pigmy seahorse or the harlequin shrimp

Really beautiful colors and IQ. I have the Sony RX 100 V with YS-01s. I can easily see the difference in light output.
