You need to use small aperture and faster shutter speed 1/250 or more to get rid of the bbackground
I would try ISO 80 F8 1/500 diffuser on and first or second position on the power knob

i will try that on my next outing...thanks.
 
aperture was between f5.6-f6.3 (aperture option shrinks when zooming)...completely gaffed off shutter speed and left it at 1/1000 the whole time.
 
1/1000 is not a problem as long as the camera fires the flash and it seems it did
I would go on F8 equivalent to an SLR F22 wider aperture are not important for macro
Also what ISO did you use you should shoot at the lower ISO possible that for the S100 is 80, I would not shoot any macro at 100 or more unless you really have to
Right now the picture lack of depth of field but also don't have too little of it to have a nice borkeh effect so look middle of the road
Did you change the focus option to eliminate any kind of tracking?
 
ISO set to 80 but i didn't mess with AF tracking at all...another setting to pay more attention to.

Disabling the AF tracking on faces or similar is a must for macro you want the classic focus in the centre otherwise the camera may choose to pick a piece of reef
that doesn't seem the case on all those pictures but the chromodoris one seems to have focus on the reef midway of the nudibranch and not on the gills
