I think you should verify the visiabilty range in the water and depth that
you want to use this in.

This is going to be difficult to determine unless you try doing a test dive
with scuba gear.. Video gear isn't going to improve that.. What you might do
is contact a local dive shop and ask about visibility ranges in the area you
are interested in.

I most coastal water, rivers, lakes, etc. this range is going to be limited.
Perhaps so limited that you wouldn't see a fish unless he is with in a
couple feet of the camera. Not much use if your trolling along at 5 knots.

That's a good point, although under low light, you can really see
more than you might think.

I'm still looking for a site that I saw last year when I bought mine
where the guy took pictures of bass taking lures under the ice and the
herring run up the Connecticut River at night.

Eventually, I'll find them, but my point is that even with crappo
visibility, you could still see a lot of stuff.

It's a toy - no doubt about it and it won't work perfectly all the
time, but anytime you have enough disposable income, might as well
spend it on your hobby. :)
