Shoot larger
A wide angle lens is absolutely essential for shooting the big stuff like wrecks and whale sharks. Fit more of your subject into the frame for a photo with the same impact as the real thing!
The two photos below were taken at exactly the same distance. The photo on the left was taken with the camera in its widest angle setting. The photo on the right was taken with wide angle lens attached. The difference is clear!

Shoot smaller
It seems counterintuitive, but a wide angle lens can really make your macro shots pop. In many situations, the addition of an external wide angle lens can both improve the sharpness of your macro photo and expand the backdrop for more dramatic composition.
All of the following images were taken using US$100-200 point-and-shoot camera in Ikelite housings with external wide angle lens installed.

Get closer
The biggest obstacle to good underwater photography is, oddly, the water. Water absorbs light and steals the color and clarity from your photo. Use a wide angle lens to get closer to your subject and get some of that water out of your underwater photos.
