I was wondering what you meant by cross eyes till it hit me lol.

very cool idea.

can you achieve the same result using a tripod with only 1 camera?

seems like the second photo is slightly off to achieve that affect.

No problem to achieve the effect with only one camera for static subject.

Is also possible to do it without a tripod.

The problem is when the subject moves (fishes doesn't stay still).

I have a remote for GoPro and paired the two of them but it doesn't work underwater.

The only mean to synchronize the cameras underwater is to press the two buttons the same time.

For pictures on land I connect two Olympuses with a cable I made and it works pretty well.

If you use one camera with a tripod I recommend to use a "fotomate" rail"

Is there a way to create the 3D affect with just the same picture and cropping one just a bit to make it slightly off?

NO!! For stereo effect you need 2 different pictures taken at a distance from one another. Is for that humans and other carnivores have 2 eyes in the front: viewing stereo is easy to hunt.

A person that lost one eye can't view stereo.
