Well, I have actually videotaped a refinery once... varies what camera I
take with me and if I'm in a Sit-On-Top kayak, I usually grab my camcorder
with the scuba enclosure since it's gonna get wet anyway most likely...

Course, I also videotape birds, slurry coming out of pipes and such too, and
generally, officials will react when you call them about something that you
have on video, even without seeing the video...

I have a EWA-Marine enclosure... it only is good for 30 feet underwater but
I told the salesman, "If I'm 30 feet underwater I've got more to worry about
than my camcorder." (he wanted me to buy a more expensive enclosure...)

I wonder if bad guys use spoonsoonies for their personal safety???
