Use a wide lense instead of a zoom. Try to move as close towards the subject as possible. Avoid as much water between the lense and the subject as you can.

Thanks. My uneducated intuitions were definitely wrong. Will try this soon.

MemberI heard from him after your post - he indeed does what you recommend. But I bet it's difficult to do this well, probably takes lots of practic.

MemberI found some underwater shots, really amazing. I wish I knew how they did it.

One of the turtle, he must have been very close.

Focus GroupI've found Auto Levels in ACDSee Pro 2 (and its predecessors) to be excellent in removing haze in shots taken from an airplane. It also helps in removing murkiness in water, though perhaps not so dramatically. In both cases further improvement can often be made with the light equalizer tool in Shadow/Highlights.

Memberwe use to take pictures of fish in aquariums, our key point was to work with a fixed distance, a lot of patience, a dozen of beers, to wait for the fish to be in the right spot and smiling. I guess it is not a matter of camera but a lot of time and good luck too

MemberThere is no difference except that your camera is in a water proof case, and you need to do research on how to get good photos
