I;m currently in cozumel at the moment and its my first time using my new rig, canon s95 with a ys-01 strobe.. Im having problems getting good exposures.. On the flash I have it set to full or near full power and TTL mode and I tried shooting in apature priority and shutter priority at 1/60th of a sec and also in just program mode but it seems that I cant get many good exposures Not sure if it{s from the way I have the strobe positioned or the fact that its a lot of drift diving and im finding it hard to get good shots on the moving targets.. does anyone have any advice?
 
I am no pro but I would go manual - 1/250 F5 or 5.6 (higher if macro subject) set strobe to fire without pre-flash at about 3/4 power angled a bit outward...

I have the S95 in a FIX housing with a S&S 110a strobe--shoot almost 100% with my UWL 04 WA lens......Have had little trouble on TTL in Tv mode & 1/125th to 1/160th & ISO on 125....see more of my pics below in my sig from Sept, 1st link.....
