Most strobes will work with the 8080 , it depends on how you want to trigger them , there are various options . I use a S&S YS 90 Auto with my 7070 (see the setup at the bottom) and am very happy .

You got some nice color on some of these pictures. My suggestion would be to work on composition a little. Many of your pictures are static because of the subject balance in the frame. Mostly dead center. Google photo composition and check out some sites for composing pictures. I hope this does not seem to picky to you but for example the underside of the boat has great potential but it seems to be going out of the frame to the left. Always leave more room at the front even if it is stopped as I'm sure this boat is. Rule of thirds, S curves, diagonals etc. are all recommendations you will find in a composition article.
Good luck

For work without strobe in tropical water at 45 feet or less, the "magic" gel filters get rid of the blue and give more natural color, check the magic filter website for pictures similar to yours.

What is the magic gel filter?

They use a digital camera's ability to re-adjust white balance to bring back colors lost in the depths. What's real nice is that the blue water doesn't end up looking gray.

Yeah, not too bad. I guess with any type of correction there are limitations but some of those look pretty good. I wander if those examples are only using the filter or if there is some photoShop adjustment as well.

thanks for the link
