Yeah, I think there is a problem - it's called user error
I think most of the time, i'm not in the right position to make the most of the light coming down for the pic, and, like you said, the strobe isn't in the right place.
I'll figure it out one of these days

Once you get your own system, you will have a chance to really get everything dialed in. I don't think it is user error, I really think it is an alignment problem with the strobe.
Anyway, they still came out nice and now you can share your dive with friends and family.
Speaking of family, does you mom still dive? You said she was a freediver? Maybe you can convince her to go with you sometime, that way she can take the camera and get you in some of those photos.
Ace, my mom isn't a freediver, she did just 'normal' recreational scuba diving back in the late 70s. We went snorkelling at one of the nicer beaches down in the south of the island a couple of weeks ago, and she panicked abit as she wasn't used to using a snorkel. So we're going to go snorkelling a few more times so she'll feel comfortable and take it in baby steps. Hopefully she'll take the plunge and do the OW course.

Awesome!
It is so great to have family involved in the same sport. Sounds like you are taking the best approach as well.
At least you have a great place to do it too!
