There's a specialized underwater photo e-mail list.
There are many professionals on that list
and they could give you a very definitive answer
in no time at all.
If with flash, your favorite high quality DAYLIGHT color film:
but then it really depends on what sort of shots you have in
mind: larges spanses or close-up or macro, to choose speed .
Yet: better check with the underwater photo crowd.
Do you have a Nikonos or Nikonos RS ?
Nikon folk could be of help
through their 1-800 customer desk.
When I subscribed to that group, much too specialized for my
interests, quite a few mentioned Velvia as their favorite,
many preferred K25 / K64.
I wish you a safe dream trip
(many ravenous sharks in these waters... be careful).
You're about to enter a trip I have yearned for
since childhood: lucky dog!
