This is great, either someone saw my last post or I just got lucky. My idea of how to do this was much more expensive and more difficult too. Basically make a box from acrylic and then find some watertight switches. Now I don’t need that. Thanks for the great how to.
Check out this 1 minute video with Greenpeace’s underwater photo/videographer and deep sea toy specialist, Gavin Newman, aboard the Esperanza.
After months of confronting whalers and pirates, some might envy the crew aboard the next leg of Defending Our Oceans who are heading to the beautiful Azores in the mid-Atlantic. For this leg of the expedition, the Esperanza has been equipped with state of the art monitoring equipment, including a remote operating vehicle (ROV) which can shoot video down to a depth of 300m, and a drop camera capable of reaching depths of 1,000 metres – giant squid territory! The ship will become part of the ongoing University of the Azores research program intended to establish greater scientific knowledge of the importance of deep-sea habitats and marine life. http://oceans.greenpeace.org/en/ocean-defenders-tv
