Sounds awesome tripwise and not much good rental wise.

As someone who slipped on a rockpool and killed his 80D, Id suggest as weatherproof as you can get, and replaceable - salt water can be pretty brutal.  It needs to survive to get to resale value considerations.

So a 7D2 sounds like a pretty good option to me.   I have a 7D2, R, and R5, the R is a solid camera and the horizontal AF zone can be great for subjects like dolphins (or in my case flying foxes), but you wont gain as much over a 7D2 as you might think for this kind of shooting, compared to the cost increase.
