I'm new to diving and photography U/W but have gotten my bouyancy down pretty good.
I have found suitable locations for my gear that I think has my trim pretty good at this point and have gotten my weight down to 8lbs using a 3mm/AL80. Maybe to light? Bouyancy test after a dive say I'm pretty good.
But after getting my camera and diving with it I find I'm yoyoing around alot, at first I found myself holding my breathe during shots and tried to correct it but find I still do it. Granted I only have 6 dives actaully using my camera and this is bugging me alot. I haven't had a chance to get out and just do a couple dives to fool around abit and find out what I'm actually doing wrong and figured I might ask some of the more experienced photog's how they dive and shoot. I also found myself using my arms alot more while shooting also. :shakehead
Any advise would be greatly appreciated so I can take the advise and use it to practice on my next dives.
Edited: Oh my camera is the Oly 350 w/ Oly housing no strobe as of yet.
