Two notes:

1) Most cheap cameras are fixed focal-length cameras, meaning that they lack the ability to focus. If your camera is one of these then you'll have a fairly narrow range where your subject will be in focus. With practice this isn't too hard to deal with, but it can be frustrating. Practice is about the only way to get around this.

2) The focal length will be different underwater, so if you're doing this for an underwater camera you'll need to practice under water to get the focal length right.
