Control your buoyancy
Get your buoyancy under
control and set yourself up in
the ideal position before taking
a picture or shooting video.
This allows you to hold the
camera steady and control your
shooting distance. Good
buoyancy control will help you
avoid stirring up the sandy
bottom which will cloud-up the water and cause backscatter.
Controlling your buoyancy is very important for your diving safety
so don’t start shooting until your buoyancy is under control.
Practice makes perfect
There is no better way to learn
than from your mistakes.
Become familiar with your
camera controls so you can
make quick adjustments
depending on the conditions.
Take the time to practice and
experiment with different
settings. Review your pictures
and learn from your mistakes.
