You found very nice fish, but your camera settings are wrong.

What's wrong with them?

What kind of light did you use?

Two Retra Pro strobes with reflectors, Weefine Smart Focus 1000 for focusing, XTAR D26 2500lm for spotting. The images are from two dives; first dive I shot the strobes in manual (mostly half power), second one I shot them in TTL using a UW-Technics converter.

You used flash first, then why iso 800?
Why is your f value 25? You may have wanted to make the background dark, there is no need to narrow the aperture that much. You should be able to get the same background in f11 led. Quality decreases after f11. f25 and iso800 reduce the quality of the photo and reduce its sharpness. You have a TTL converter, iso 100 always gives the best quality, the more you increase it, the worse it gets.
