Not sure if anyone is doing this successfully underwater but I am curious if anyone is doing focus pulls.
I ask because I think it would be very cool to pull form out of focus to totally in focus underwater on a subject.
That being said, considering that we usually keep our lens and camera in manual focus mode while shooting video I am curious how anyone is doing this (if anyone)....
Thoughts?

I had a couple of (unsuccessful) attempts at puling focus from one subject to another but found that turning the focus knob introduced unacceptable camera movement even when using a tripod and I would often miss the target focus. But I am sure that if you stuck with it you could nail it.
If you just want to come into focus from a blurred start you can do that quite well in post by keyframing a blur effect. I'm sure most NLEs have the capability.
