They look too airbrushed and touched up in general for me.
I remember seeing a documentary years ago though on an underwater photo shoot that had amazing results. May have been for Pirelli.
The models were teathered by a foot (with an emergency quick release), usually, to a rock, hidden say behind corel. They had food for the fish sprinkled around them. Water was maybe 10 foot deep maybe, so nice and light, heaps of fish. The attending divers had really long octopus rigs (i.e. spare breathings mouth pieces on long tubes). They would set up the shot, then move out of shot themselves, and then at the last second quickly pull away the air hose. Snap, snap, divers back in.
It was on TV, BBC in the UK, and I would love to see it again. If I can find any photos from it I'll post a link, but it was at least 10 years ago so I doubt I can.
The model had a couple of divers in constant attendance
