A local kayak shop sells them made by someone nearby. They are just a short
section of white ABS pipe, thin-wall, about 6" diameter and an acrylic bottom.
That isn't something too difficult to make.

I can't see how you would lean over far enough to use such a thing.

One needn't look straight down. If it is long enough, one could use it
to look off obliquely at the bottom.

Well, I don't have any clear water here, so it wouldn't work.
