Avoid ‘fire hosing’. That is moving your camera around as if you were putting out a fire. The steadier your shots, the less seasick your audience will be.
Take your finger off the Zoom button. The Zoom should only be used to compose your shot. Then capture the shot. Zooming in and out can be quite distracting.
The camera can run and you can wait for action to happen. All you have to do is keep it in focus and steady.
Shooting underwater video with available light, you’ll want to be where it is the brightest. Use a colour correcting filter whenever possible. They do work. You can see the results in your view finder.
White balance often, If your housing doesn’t have manual white balance Set it on Auto. You will still need to shine it on a white surface constantly. Or, point it to the Sand or the Sun. Only point at the sun while you’re underwater of course.

Know when the camera is on. Learn how to tell if the camera is recording, and check it often.
Use a colour filter (UR PRO Filter) between 20-80 feet with sunlight and no external lights turned on.
Remember when using lights, no filter-otherwise everything is too red. Too close to surface will also make everything too pink.
