Non Macro UW settings for a 5060?

[Wildcard]

I get to dive the shark tank again. Last time I changed a couple of settings to what I thought would work well in clear well lit water. It didn't work so well. Id like to get it right this time. What would you suggest?

with instant feedback, you should be able to adjust pretty quick and get it right.

Are you using a strobe?
One or two?
How far away are you shooting?
Which ISO are you shooting?
Natural light or is it indoors?

No strobe, lots of artifical ambient light from many directions. I have the Macro down but I don't know where to go for say, 10 feet. Just the internal strobe for now.
BTW thats one awsome nudi in your avatar.

here is a primer I made for a friend in my 5050 days.

I used strobes. My mode #3 should be a good starting point (f5.6, 1/125).

HTH,
