I am interested in looking at fish and what they eat on the bottom of lakes, generally in 15 feet of water or less. It seems that mounting one on a submarine would make a lot of sense! What's the best way to get a color camera down there? thanks for your time.

The best way is to use a self contained waterproof camera.
There are several models on the market, the Oregon Scientific ATC2K and ATC3K are widely used within the model submarine community. These are available for under a $100
However there are now some HD versions offering full 1080P available, but at a price. The GoPro HD is a compact little thing, with a waterproof case that should give you superb results. Bear in mind that 1080P offers four times the resolution of standard definition devices like the ATC2/3k cameras.
What's this, another tiny, high-definition camera to strap onto your person before doing something wild and crazy? Yes, it's the latest pixel-pushing contender for high-def helmetcam supremacy, the GoPro HD Hero; a little gray box in a waterproof case that can record 1080p at 30fps, 720p at 60, and comes with a selection of mounts that will enable the thing to hang on to just about whatever you want to sling it from -- but at $299 you might not feel particularly inclined to put it in harm's way. Worth the risk, and how does it compare to the competition and its predecessors? Read on for the full analysis, and of course plenty of gratuitous high definition footage.Comment
