Underwater RiverCam

This underwater video camera sure takes some practice! This is our first attempt at photographing or videoing (sp?) wild trout. I did play with the camera some in the pool, but I will spare you the video of family swimming and blowing bubbles underwater. I think a couple things made this difficult = 1.) the water was only a few inches deep where we released the fish, and 2.) the fish didn't want to hang out in shallow water. It quickly darts off when I release my hold on it.



This isn't like snorkling and having a camera to swim with. We are only in the water up to our ankles and perhaps moving out to knee-deep will be easier. Still, I find it challenging. but you can bet that I'll be trying more of it. It is a 2-person task though, so I'll have to convince Rick to give me a hand.

  1. Not as great as the bubbles underwater in our pool but pretty close! That fish must have had the camera bug cuz he/she was pretty cooperative with you! Fun to watch him/her swim away!!
