I have a point-and-shoot digital Canon camera with a built in flash. It works great when I don't use the flash. However, when I do use the flash I seem to get lots and lots of specks and other "backscatter" in the photo. Is there any way to avoid this pesky stuff?

Back scatter is a result of you lighting up the water particles in front of your flash. You can eliminate the back scatter in a variety of ways. 1. Photoshop each particle out of your image, which is tedious, time consuming and may not always provide the desired results. 2. Move up to the next level of underwater photography with a housing for your camera body and external strobes, (two preferably) on extension arms. However, this is an expensive venture. But you can have wonderful images if you ante up to the next level of underwater photography. Here's a link to my dive buddie's site. Here, you can see his rig and the photos he shoots here in the Great Lakes. http://www.dennismullen.com/SCUBA/SCUBA/3120761_h5p77#551323139_uixSD
