Video without movement is dull. However, good underwater video action and movement must follow a few rules if it is not to appear disjointed.

You must consider the line of action at all times when shooting moving subjects. This is an imaginary line extending along the direction of travel.

Take a shot of a diver finning across your frame from left to right. Let him swim out of frame then catch them up and shoot them from the opposite side finning right to left across frame. When you watch this sequence the diver will appear to have changed directions.
