With actinic lighting you struggle with 2 things:
-Blurred shots due to slower shutter speed needed with the decreased light, for this use a higher ISO without going very high or else noise starts to appear, and use a tripod. Decrease water flow if shooting soft corals that sway with the flow.
-White balance, the most difficult part of Actinic shots, as the camera won't be able to correct for so muc blue. I would shoot in RAW if your camera allows it and use a RAw converter to try to adjust the WB. Maybe creating your own WB preset if your camera allows it would also work.
