Your photos are quite nice. I have been shooting underwater pics for some time. If I may ask: What camera are you using and which lens? I will make one suggestion that will make the pictures slightly better and that is to get as close as you can to your subject..within the depth of field of your lens. This will bring out your subjects more. It looks like you are using maybe a wide angle lens, if so then fill up your view finder with the subject. Your exposure looks quite good but you can bracket exposure by going up one or down one f-stop which may give you better color as would a strobe for fill light. By the way the yellow fish in your pictures are schools of yellow snapper, french grunts, and school masters.

Best,
