Upcoming first shots - what settings?

[runway1]

I'm shooting my first shots this weekend with a new Cannon A650 and housing - no strobe. Conditions on shore are ~10-12 foot viz with surf, surge and ~58° water.

I need to get in my first shots so I can tune-up for the Bahamas the following weekend. For a newbie with an A650, what should my first settings be? AP? Permanent macro setting? Full auto? Any insight is appreciated. It will definetly help me up the curve

This helped me out a lot when I was starting with my Canon SD500 in one of the Canon housings.
Good Luck!
