How 2 photo a small boat?

[fpoole]

Just curious if anyone has any particular way of photo/video-ing a small boat. Appears there is a new one going down and thought Whoaaaa.... where does one start...

Do you try to get an overall Outside view first and then go into certain "Attraction Areas" like the bridge or the engine room (assuming wreck diving certs etc.) props, smoke stacks, steps.. most of the insides look like steel rooms.. just thought I'd check to see..
Here's a small boat that is planned to be drop to the bottom..

with plans to put in more...
Over here in Seattle, WA, the Canadians were trying for top dog in UW Reefs... a little competition here???

Just wondering..

Umm...Hmmm...Let's see...Start at the bow, work toward the stern, and hope you don't get bent during the years in between.

If you are looking to take an overall outside view of the Oriskany you're gonna need a large wide angle lens! If you have 100 ft visibility and are at the bow you are only going to get 1/8 of the ship.

Heheh... yeah, Geeesh what dive that would be.. you could spend all week on it... and then dive the insides... the following years... wonder how they are going to "Diver Prep" it... up here, they drill holes, take out the wiring etc... so there's always sunlight... until you go to the engine rooms... but doing some thing like that to a Carrier... Mann, that's got to be a job....
