    In case anyone else comes across this, I have a tip based off expierence with this type of shooting. If you exhale, as opposed to inhale, before going underwater, you will sink easily. If your model does the same she will also sink quicker and will avoid air bubbles coming from the nose/mouth. Hope that helps!

    The model needed to open her eyes under water and look right into the lens. She looked uncomfortable.

    Everything you all do is magic!! I was wondering if you all could make a video over what cameras work well.

    I recently bought a Sony a6300 and I’m not sure how I feel about it.
    I also own a Nikon D3300.

    AYE-OOO! Meg Griffin the Pro Underwater Videographer here with a tip for your troubles!! Throw a couple weights on with your wet suit to create a neutral Buoyancy so you can sink to the bottom! Wets suits' designs cause to you be naturally floaty so donning a weight belt will help you sink. Try 2, 4 or 6 Lbs at first, hold a belly full of air and see if you float at eye level- this will determine if you've achieved neutral buoyancy, release the air and you'll sink! Also consider going through an open water scuba diving class and getting a heavier camera housing if you want to do more of this kind of photography; the camera itself will act as a weight instead of a float and the scuba class will give you a lot of insight into how your body acts underwater-Plus it eliminates that pesky holding your breath factor. I'd also recommend getting a normal mask, the full face masks hinder your ability to go deep (phrasing?) and they're not designed for business. Get a mask that fits your face well and you'll be surprised how comfortable it feels! You guys have some great stuff I'm really enjoying your channel keep up the great work and informational videos!

    if you exhale out all your air in your lungs you will drop down like an anchor, I can stay underwater for about 20 seconds which is enough to get plenty of shots.
