RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] video camera in ambient sub

[Brent Shaw <drydivenz@yahoo.com>]

Hi james,

In my ambient sub I have a camera mounted to a snorkel that displays on a monitor in the cabin. It can easily be connected to a DVD recorder.

Check out www.viewtech.co.nz. They supplied me with all the bits.


I found that the system works really well especially went just cruising under the surface and being able to view on top of the surface.


If you search google images for "Drydive" domain NZ you will find pics

I could email you pics of camera/monitor/setup if you want
