Islamorada reef 4-19-18 Conditions and snaps

[deeper thoughts]

heading out was a gentle 1 to 2 ft roll that became flat calm
no current, water temp 77/79
viz was a blue 60/80 feet
Unbelievable fish life, Moray eels, nurse sharks and grouper by the dozen
Thick schools of fish
The reef looked really good and I have dove it multiple times pre and post Irma

Tg 5 and olympic housing

What settings do you use for wide angle? Do you use the diffusr on the strobe? What possessing software, if any, do you use? I just bought a TG-5 with the Oly housing and used it drift diving in Jupiter last weekend. Shots don't look nearly as good as yours.... Of course drifting, there's not much time to set up shots.

Just looking for a few tips

Funny i tried not using their underwater settings but for some reason it really does an excellent job
Yes i do use the diffuser/ttl and 1/2 strobe power
Exposure compensation 0.3 or less but i dive very shallow
Minimal processing too lazy, adobe photoshop auto only usually
