Or much worse. My late wife was taking photos of a Lionfish on our third dive off a liveaboard in Fiji. She was drifting down at the same time, and she ripped her eardrum. Granted, that was a weak ear anyway as it had ripped twice before, but stuff like this happens.

good technique for any UW photog to have is to get slightly buoyant, and then slowly kick down to maintain position.   Great for subjects tucked away in small valleys.   But easiest way to achieve is holding full lungs, which is a newbie no-no.   A lot of the tricks used by the photogs is in contradiction to safe practices.
