Try it at 50m+ on OC...

If you are going to use 5mm gloves (I use drygloves) then practice on the sofa with your 5mm gloves on so that you know what all the buttons do and what you can and can't reach/do with thick gloves. Use a basic set of commands and don't try anything funky. Manual shutter speed (1/8-1/60th), manual f-stop (for me fully open as I am shooting wide angle and limited ambient light), ISO 160-800 depending on ambient light and thats all. I play with strobe settings, but normally I don't have much time to play when at depth, so I practice in dark shallows and remember the settings.

Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming aircrew. You can't do both.

The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits.
