Thanks again to everyone for all your help, sadly I can't green you all

Another quick question, I had planned on using the cameras built in underwater setting, but from reading a few threads it seems this is more suited for being abroad. Are there any settings that anyone can recommend for being perhaps a bit more suited to the UK?

Setting for the UK depend upon what you're taking. I always use manual mode and adjust the aperture dpending upon what I am shooting. Unless you have an external strobe you'll need natural light as otherwise the built-in flash will give you major back scatter problems. Just try to get as close to your subject as possible and then then when you think you're close enoigh - get closer!

I have found a wide angle lens for my compact camera has been invaluable.
