I've been working on my photography for four years and I STILL can't get my strobes aimed correctly!!! The lighting is under, over, in front of, behind the subject...once in a while I'm actually dead on because I'm lucky. I'm shooting with a Canon S95 in an Ikelite housing, two Inon S2000 strobes, ULCS arms. Thanks SO much for all suggestions!
Help!

This observation will not work for you unless you switch some gear?
I use s&s ys110 strobes with builtin focus lights.
When I turn the focus lights on, I always know where the strobes are pointed. Using my very keen 20/20 hindsight, one of the best strobe decisions I lucked into was to pick a model with builtin focus light
Failing that, do you routinely do an "instant photo review"?
- take a shot
- review it on your LCD (mine I set for an automatic 5 second display of last pic)
- note how I screwed up
- compensate
- take another shot of the same thing
- repete until okay pic or fish gets bored and leaves (or dive buddy pokes me in the side and we move on)

Sharkgal - you are using diffusers on your strobes, correct? Hitting the subject really shouldn't be an issue, this problem sounds very strange to me.. - Scott
