Sometimes if the subject is on the bottom you can place the torch on the ground too...
if the subject is on a ledge of something you can also hold the torch and the ledge or just hang with torch in one hand and camera in the other if you get your bouyancy right ...
but definitely taking photogrphhs as a team works really well and is a lot of fun.
The ideal "torch bitch" would be someone who is into wildlife spotting and can't afford a camera! Phil has his own so for really good subjects we take turns to take a couple of shots or often when i can't be bothered to take pics i'll just do the torch for him.
Helen Mutter is the most profient torch bitch I ever buddied and I think to this date she doesn't take underwater photos although she is in fact an excellent photogrpher on land. I think having a photographers eye gives her the abilty to light the shots nicely.
