NOTE: I just noticed this post may not be very timely! Ohh well, I'll leave it for anyone that is interested.
I've done a lot of photography presentations over the years (none on UW photography ).
UW Photography as a subject is too big to cover at anything but a very high level. My suggestion would be to pick a topic, and proceed from there.
For example you could do a presentation on a specific location. You could put together a slide show of pics from that location, and cover things specific to that location like travel tips, shooting tips, fish species and variations, exposure protection, etc.
You could do an equipment presentation. Show the various components involved, cover some maintenance considerations, lens selection, dome/port discussion, and cover some techniques involved in shooting UW.
If you don't have a lot of material you would like to present, you could cover some of the legends or pioneers of the field, and present their work, and open that up for discussion on technique, composition, lighting.
You could easily do an entire presentation on just one very narrow subject. Lighting is EVERYTHING in photography, so that would make an excellent choice, and that could include things like white balance, strobe placement, color temperature, and the challenges of shooting UW.
There are lots of options and hundreds of books dedicated to shooting UW photography, so narrow the topic down to something manageable, and go from there.
