I've never done it, but my go-to site for photography tips and techniques is dgrin. I'm sure you can search the forums and find a ton of people who have posted underwater shots and their tips.

I don't know much, but have a friend who does alot. Get your flash off of your camera onto a bracket if you are able. Shoot with a wide angle lens to overcome the reflective nature under water.
On a personal note, I love the shots that you take looking up with the sunlight flaring through the water. Best of luck my friend!

Back to add, I was just reading to meter on a neutral area of your subject, rather than the blue of the water. Again. Just read it. No experience.

My only tip: Keep your elbows in. Sharks like people.
