Simple, inexpensive underwater photography

Stunning shots are possible, even with inexpensive photo gear. Consider this flourescent coral shot with a 5 megapixel point-and-shoot camera and cheap INON strobe. In order to get best results, set your camera to manual, meter for midwater, and then set your strobe to fire at full. Adjust the strobe, if the first shot is too hot (you lose detail from overlighting the coral). Once you have the strobe setting worked out, take a few shots, firing for effect.
