Most underwater flashguns come with diffusers that can be attached to them to modify their output. When, and when not to use them is the subject of the next episode ofWetpixel Live. Join Wetpixel Editor Adam Hanlon as he describes what they do and when you should have them on your strobes.

Adam,
Another excellent presentation. A couple ideas:
It's useful to use a thin thread or similar to attach the diffusors to the strobe. Having inadvertently lost a few diffusors while UW, the diffusors with my YS-D1s have a hole to attach and I loop the thread around the post on the ball mount. Haven't lost one since. Not elegant, but it works well.
For additional topics, consider using many of the topics discussed in Alex's Masterclass book. I can't tell you how useful this book is as it's very concise and informative. That is after one reads Martin Edge's book a few times.
