Oly TG-2: Can't use viewing screen under water?

I have a an Olympus TG-2 that I just used during a snorkeling trip.  Great little camera, but impossible to use if one wants to frame a shot under water.  That is, the viewing screen is so dark that I can't see the target I want to take a picture of.  So, I wound up just aiming the camera rather than looking at the imaging screen.  I figure I have to be doing something wrong.  Shouldn't one be able to have a bright enough viewing screen to accurately compose the picture; or isn't this possible with my camera?  If it is, how?
