The best photographs are obtained by professionals with expensive, specialized equipment. If you don't know what you're doing, you may luck out with a good frame or two, but that will be the exception. The time you spend fiddling with a camera will take away from the time you could be looking around and discovering what is around you. Don't limit your experience of Hawaii to the narrow scope of a viewfinder! This may sound harsh, but my advice is to concentrate on the diving and leave the photography to someone else.
