During my last trip to Bali I brought a camera to make some photos of my sitings under water. After the first dive I realized that I did barely have a single sharp photo, talked to the guide and he told me to be more calm and slow and keep much more focus on my buoyancy. During the first dive I just tried to swim down/up or to whatever thing I wanted to photo and force myself to stay there resulting in that I was not laying still and the pictures was not very sharp. I also scared a lot of my objects away with my movements and stirred up a lot of silt.
During the next coming dives I focused much more on being neutrally buoyant and to approach my targets much slower and more calm resulting in some really good pictures and best of all a much better buoyancy control both when taking photos but also in general with and without the camera all thanks to me wanting to take sharp pictures.
This is a really good way specially for divers like me that cannot go out for practice at any time but need to improve my skills during expensive dive vacations where I do not want to lay at the bottom practicing this kind of skills but rather swim around looking at things using my short vacation time to the most!
So bring a camera and improve your buoyancy and have fun at the same time !
