By that i mean more time in the water to capture the images you work hard for? http://www.bigbluetech.net/big-blue-tech-news/2009/11/07/technical-diving-camerawork-2/ Have you ever considered technical diving or rebreather diving as a means to giving you more range.

He's akin to a towering ungainly giraffe on valium and too much Grand Marnier. You don't want to try to put your fins on next to him in a small dive launch. But he's not arrogant. Although he did recently bring his wife and two daughters to visit me in Maine for five days. They were welcome company... until I found out that he also submitted a critique of my hospitality services all over internet and now I find that I have to justify putting ice cubes in a vodka tonic 'cause the Brits like everything at room temperature including ice cream sundaes. (Just kidding, John's a great guest!) It may be a small pond… but the problem is Bantin’s height in the pond. He’s akin to a towering ungainly giraffe on valium and too much Grand Marnier.
