I've used some of the Fuji pro films, and while they're really good general purpose, I don't think they're contrasty or saturated enough for this kind of shooting. Royal Gold would probably be as good, but I haven't shot any in a long time. I like the Supra because it's saturated and somewhat contrasty, with tight, sharp grain. Echoing John's comments, don't worry about the colour rendition of neg film for casual underwater shooting - just make sure it gives you really good blues :-) Paul
