I think the final result that Nikon is able to offer with the double exposure photos is great, but my personal opinion is that they are too artifacted and hopefully, sooner or later they will be banned from photo contests...
Because I never participated in UW Photo Contest and NEVER will, I always shoot RAW. That is either outside with my Nikons or UW with my FUJI. Unfortunately the 2nd conversion program is slow and complicated!Pity all RAW formats are not compatible...

Of course RAW! It is not a surprising truth that a raw image with good quality with further improving, for instance with productive photo color correction services, will result in photo of amazing beauty.

I NEVER go to UW events and contest, they are just a poor reminder of the former UW spearfishing events of the old days, in disguise for a politically correct society...of fake! I could take 1000\'s of words to explain the advantages of RAW, but quite simply, I don\'t use any other format! Camera automatisms are fine, if you override them and control them, but not the image processing! As good as the JEPG conversations might be, we Humans are and will always be, better! Would a Painter use an automated colour/contrast corrector? Certainly NOT. So, in resume, if you really MUST use JEPGs, for any reason, go ahed and do, if you are free, just use the BEST output your cameras can deliver! As simple as that!

Absolutely use the RAW as primary format, when it's possible.
So, if you need a lighter format for contest or for internet, you can change in jpg.
But if the original file is already in jpg you loose a lot of information about the shot you have taken and often you can't manipulate it (especially about shadow and high lights).

Nowadays the Purists say that the shot must be as it comes out of the camera... well the jpg is not as it comes out of the camera... it is already compressed so the camera apply some corrections and algorithms... But many years ago we used to do the same with film cameras ... try to think... we chooses this or that film, and shot them and then print them in this or that lab because they gave different results... So definitely RAW and Photo editing which it is the modern Black room!!! So even the purists will be satisfied!!! :)
