Looking for advice (gopro + pole air/water)

Hi there.

I'm looking to do some basic underwater photography that would involve extending a Go Pro (probably) on a pole either at the edge of a lake or over the side of a boat. The critical thing would be to be able to control the camera remotely from the top of the pole. I am assuming that this is already being done by some people, but am having trouble identifying the appropriate (waterproof) shutter release cable or mechanism for the job. I also assume it would have to be a cable, since radio has a very poor range underwater.

I am really looking for an extra long selfie type stick, and with a shutter release (at the very least) controllable from outside the water.
