Tina,
You could do sneaky, and shift the divers body down a tad to align all four 
heads in the same plane, and ensure you align them with the corner of the 
frame to boot. You'd have a gut stopping image then, but I don't know how to 
do that manipulation, correct the resulting blanks left on the water as a 
result, and make the whole thing look seamless.

Life is complicated....

Douglas
