Seth! Never ever sit on the bottom in shallow water in bad weather! I sometimes sit about 2m from the bottom and still occasionally scrape the bottom! It's not too bad if you are doing 0 knots though and in calm water I'm able to sloooowwly settle on the sea floor without damage if I'm doing 1kt or less. You have to be very careful the that nice submarine that Onken Karl gave you to look after.
:rotfl:
It took a lot of practice with the external camera to get it right when not using it. (I still take a peek occasionally if I'm in a particularly trick spot though!
