manual strobe settings?

In about a week I'll be spending two weeks in Roatan doing dive photography.   I use a Nikon D810 triggering two YS-D1 strobes via pop-up flash and fiber optics.

For the past three years I've been using TTL, and it's worked fine for the type of lighting I wanted, but now I'm interested in trying manual control.

Any advice on settings, or techniques?  I'll almost always be shooting with a 105vr macro lens when using strobes.

One thing I'd like to do is reduce power on the pop-up flash to maybe 1/16th, mostly to improve cycle times.

I assume I'll also be showing a histogram view most of the time.
