I normally weight for expected average depth(8-10lbs) at which I'll be taking pics, but in situations where I'm light for shallow water shots(6-14'), this approach has so far worked quite well for me: set cam, solid breathe-up, after final breath partial exhale(20-30%), creating a slow sinking descent in upright position, legs tucked in, to desired depth. In my case that gives me a 20-30sec window to take a couple of pics, which is usually plenty of time to get the shot, and descending without movement doesn't spook the fish as easily. The only drawback with this technique is longer recovery between dives. In my albums you can check out some pics(chain moray, harlequin bass), that were taken this way. Any thoughts on this?
