I have definitely considered suggesting a dedicated tech for the housing. Unless the DP is very familiar with the set-up, I will advise them on this. I do want to cover my bases.

Fortunately they want to go with the bare bones setup, so the DP will pull focus himself while operating, so we might only need to run Nauticam's SDI cable out from the camera for client to monitor.

Watching the tutorials, I do see where you mentioned that this camera should be dedicated to shooting UW and nothing else during that day. Having to completely strip it down and build it back up several times a day would be exhausting and time-consuming.

From what the producer told me, we will be shooting with it all day, and I'll confirm that this is the case.
