All you need is perfect conditions:
  • 24 FPS
  • 1/50 Shutterspeed
  • Waking up super early
  • No wind
  • Indirect sunlight
  • Active wildlife
  • Wildlife swimming right at the surface
  • Low tide
  • Clear water in a mud-filled bay
  • ND4 polarized lens
  • Increased ISO (there's no light underwater)
  • Reasonable caffeine intake - too much makes for jittery thumbs
  • Not getting knoocked out of the air by agitated seagulls

Nice leopard shark. I guess you are on the west coast then?  I have always found noon to be best for viewing great depths. Once on a calm day at noon from an outrigger canoe, I was able to clearly see "tiny" real army trucks that had been dumped into a 200 foot deep lagoon on Johnston Island. The water appeared to not exist to a degree that I had a mild case of acrophobia ;-)

Johnston Island is waaaay out west. You must have been in the Air Force.

Same thing for me diving in the Red Sea...the bottom, 150' away, seemed like you could almost reach out and touch it.
