Subs are great.
Where?
Beach or pool. I'm thinking Clovelly has some nice spots around the breakwall.
Costume
- Sukumizu - should be navy, but white is available as a fallback
- Thighhighs - white or black
- Maybe some glasses?
- Whatever props seem good
Ideas and shots
Not strictly I-8, but inspired by. Maybe some underwater work, maybe just hanging around near the water.
- Submerged
- Coming up for air
- Swimming
- Reading books
- Torpedos
- Wearing glasses
- Pulling socks
- Water spray in background, sitting or standing around on rocks/shoreline
- Playing in sand
- Gravure style mizugi pulling
- Ice cream

This pose is really nice, would work well with a prop like a beachball: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=49596754
Or a swim ring? Also, the seifuku top is cute: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=49598403
