I see a lot of good thing about photography but that is only half the battle. Don't forget about have bouyancy mastered.
Here is a couple of quick tips. Contrary to what we have all been taught about diving, don't breath deep. Shallow breaths is what is needed. And here is another - hold your breath while shooting.
If you feel the need to breath deep to make yourself positvely buoyant then you need a touch more air in your BC.
BC adjustment may be needed quite often depending on depth changes.
Keep your weights close to your body as opposed to having integrated weights. That will help with fine tuning. Make sure that you are not overweighted.
Learn other types of fin kicking so that you can move backwards and or aid in just stabilizing yourself instead of a kick that gives you propulsion.
Of course safety is always first, so for beginners, please don't hold your breath while ascending.
