• White balance – Using manual WB, filters, or strobes to restore color
• Lighting – Natural light vs. strobes vs. video lights

• Buoyancy for photographers – Hovering steady while framing a shot
• Subject behavior – Approaching marine life without scaring it
• Basic editing – Crop, color correct, remove backscatter
