I have dived with photographers who really wanted to school their models, and I have dived with some who just shot what they saw. I have fabulous photographs from both, but I know which makes for more fun diving!

That one was heavily choreographed, with the photographer giving constant signals on diver positioning and after an hour-long orientation session on body posture, breathing, and light management.

That one was shot, not by me, but by Ben Martinez, whose entire instructions on the photo dive consisted of, "Don't pay any attention to me."
Those are both nice shots! Huge passages are going to need more work if you are putting out strobes, have handheld strobes/lights etc.. Small passages seem to be much more forgiving.
