Personally, if I was expecting to be that far away, I would choose a different lens.

which would be what on the 4/3rd offerings?

the 8mm FE handles bigger, but requires closer.

the 45 might be the answer to bigger critters, but hasn't changed the distance.

it's a lot easier just to leave the focus range on full.

I have shot the 8mm FE quite effectively for octopus, but yes you have to get very close and find a very cooperative subject.

I would think the 12-40 pro may be a good option for the type of shot you are talking about, but have not tried it underwater, so hard to say for sure.
