Two things would have greatly helped the wreck photos.
1. You need to get closer. That would reduce the amount of water column being lit up. It would also get you sharper photos. Consider a wide angle lens. They are the best investment you can make.
2. Diffusers for the internal flash are okay, but the best thing to do is get rid of visible light. I cover my internal flash with a piece of underexposed slide film. Infrared gets out, which is enough to set off the slave strobe. Inon makes a system called clear photo. It basically does the same thing. You can get the internal flash cover for about $20.
These are very good for a beginner. You are doing the right thing by asking for critique and advice.
