I am really struggling with lighting when using my mini dome   Especially when shooting stuff right on the dome.  I seem to be getting hotspots, and find it exceptionally difficult to evenly light a subject.

Does anybody have any pointers?  I have tried dialling down the power and having them right next to the shade, out a bit, out further etc.
The vis out here (Bahrain) can be very soupy at times, lots of particles in the water.

It's an Ikelite housing, UWCamerastuff mini-dome (5") with 2x S&S YS110.  I have 2 segment arms, so can use just one or two segments.  I currently have the diffusers on all the time.

Thanks for any pointers
