When conditions are right on an air deco, I have taken pictures.  I 
suspend a camera on a drop line from the boat.  When I come to the 
stop, just retrieve that and take pictures.  Usually macro of the 
plethora of cnidarians & ctenophores eith occassional larvae.  Lots of 
fun.  Obviously works only if there are things to take pictures of & 
viz is adequate.

Reading paper backs is a tried method, but, I think, only worth it if 
hang is real long - say over 45 min.
