It's been my sense that getting decent footage and photos, especially macro, requires more energy than just floating along with the current 10 feet off the reef, lazily frog-kicking once every 8 seconds. I often find myself having to surface sooner than the rest of my group, often to the point that I'll notify the DM before getting in the water, that I'll likely surface before everyone else, even if I'm using a 15L bottle vs. everyone elses 12L bottle.
What's been your experience with gas usage (as a video/photo person) compared to the other divers?
