Re: Pond survey camera suggestions?

So basically yo need an underwater drone.   (Try asking about it in the drone forum here.  Maybe something exists, but if nothing else you might get some tips on what is needed to stream images back, still or video.

Speaking of video, is that more what you need here, or at you trying this with a collection of still images?

Just as a thought, due to the limited visibility, perhaps you could build a tripod rig with camera attached that you lower down on a line until it sits on the bottom, then using a remote release (or just timed shots perhaps with no user interaction), get shots from a camera that is pointed down and focused at the required distance.   Then, using a boat, just pull up the camera and drop it down onto another location.   Keep track of where the images are being taken if you can't review in real time.
