It can be fun scouting for new dive sites but it can also be a lot of work and its a slow way to cover a large area. That's where this device comes in handy. The device has a handle just like a fishing rod but instead of casting out a hook or other tackle it casts out a little neutrally buoyant camera. The rope, or "fishing line" that connects the camera to the "fishing rod" is also a wire that carries real-time video back from the depths, you just hold the device up to your face and the built in view finder or goggles provide a quality image. I like this device and could think of many cool ways to use it. I am always chasing whales and other super shy sea creatures trying to get close to them to get a good look but rarely do they stick around when I get in the water. With this device it would be easy to get up close and personal.
