I scored this awesome retro nikonos-V but I have never used a film camera, other than one of those disposables, so I was looking for a tip of what to start out with as far as settings go. I have 400 speed film and planning on taking landscape shots in the sanjuans, before I dare go underwater with it at a later date. I think I have half a clue on how settings work but I also know that different cameras dont all take the same photo. So if you used to play with the nikonos 5 back in the day and would be willing to pass on your wisdom, I would be so ever grateful.

Be not the slave of your own past ... plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience, that shall explain and overlook the old.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Um yea, the V was new to the market when I learned to dive. Now it's RETRO!
Principles of photography haven't changed - If you know how to use a DSLR then the settings on the V will be the same
