Almost forgot . . . a big thanks to everyone who just caused me to go out and spend a whole bunch more money . . .;)

Well.. I tried to give you the cheap answer.. LOL! Better you spending than me, I have done my part this year already with my D300 setup.. :D
 
You can't go wrong with a DS160. It'll upgrade well down the road and it puts out some serious light. Money well spent. Photography is, afterall, all about lighting. You can verify all this good advice by turning your strobe off for a shot or two and shooting natural light. When you shoot natural light the filter is best but you might try this at depth and just see what happens.
1. Set ISO to 400
2. Manual white balance off of the sand on at depth
3. Make sure you're storing in RAW.

Take a few shots to experiment. Never hurts because you never know when you're going to be without a strobe for any number of reasons.

Thanks.

Why would I set the white balance if I'm shooting in RAW though?

Personally I wouldn't.. Its a waste of time if you are shooting raw and will most likely need to be adjusted in post later anyhow so just set it to a fixed (non-auto) WB mode and shoot away. If you are shooting with strobes and have it on Cloudy, then just keep it there and turn the strobe off.
