Underwater fishing shots with budget Go-pro type cameras

I’m trying to get some surface-shots (stills taken from video) of small sharks being caught by anglers from a boat (& released) and had my eye on budget GoPro imitation cameras mounted on a selfie stick.

The shots aren’t for publication and don’t have to be professional standard. I’m only likely to do this a couple of times so don’t want to invest in a £300 or £400 GoPro camera and instead have my eye on various considerably cheaper versions on the web. Does anyone have any experience of these? There is a huge price range and I wouldn’t Need anything that has all the advanced stuff the GoPro has (like being waterproof to 60m). The shots will be wide angle and close up.

Can anyone advise who may have used some of these cheap alternatives?

many thanks

James
