I don't think I'd call it a problem so much as flash from the cam tends to flatten objects in images. Light from above is what gives fish and other underwater objects more of a 3D image.
Something I might try with your current set up is to shoot with a shutter speed somewhere in the 1/60 to 1/125 range with an aperture range of between F11-F22. An image taken in the higher end of that aperture range should have more depth to the image. That in itself could make the objects pop a little more.
Shooting at 1/15 really makes your images vulnerable to slight tremors, even while sitting on a tripod.

Interesting settings-
I'll give them a go a bit later one and see what I can come up with...
Appreciate the feedback sir....
Not a problem. 
You may need to increase flash with those settings if it's not already firing at full power. The fact that it's canon gear leaves me guessing a little, but those shutter speeds and aperture range are fairly typical for shooting aquatic objects with overhead flashes.
I do believe I shot the seahorses with a shutter speed in of 1/125th and aperture of F16.

Zoa's look amazing, nice work!! Awesome job on the mushrooms too, a bit blurry on the first one, but overall nicely done!!!
