Make sure you have your rig strapped around your upper torso (similar to a Black Rapid).
You may find yourself much closer than you now anticipate. And you can't back up! If it is me, I am bringing enough glass to cover wide angle, all the way to my 200-500. I like high quality zooms.
And I always bring a backup body.
Manual, AUTO ISO and do frequent checks. I would go higher on the shutter speed. I like 3200th. Splashing water moves fast, and I like to freeze it. But that's just me. Some like the motion look.
I would choose the base ISO just as low as I could go. 400...maybe lower? Here in Maine, I feel lucky to get down to 640.
I love VR. If you are not on a tripod, why even consider not using VR? I never shoot without VR on. I sometimes forget it is on, even while on the tripod.
