Submersible video viewing system

A submersible video viewing system, comprising:

• a) a video camera encased in a waterproof rubber camera housing, wherein the camera housing includes a desiccant, wherein first and second webs project from the camera housing and wherein a rudder extends from the first web and an aerodynamically shaped ballast weight is supported to the second web;
• b) a cable including a plurality of conductors and a strain relief member that extends coextensive with said conductors and is secured to the camera housing, and wherein the conductors and strain relief member are contained in a foam filled core;
• and
• c) a power supply and monitor means having a display screen coupled to said camera by said cable and both mounted to a monitor housing for displaying images captured by said camera at said display screen, whereby said camera tracks movement of said cable.

A submersible video viewing system, comprising:

• a) a camera encased in a waterproof rubber housing, wherein a plurality of infrared lights are mounted in the housing in concentric relation to a camera lens, wherein the camera housing includes a desiccant, and wherein a plurality of webs project from the camera housing to support accessories selected from a class including ballast weights, rudders, couplers, and camera orientation supports;
• b) a cable including a plurality of conductors and a strain relief member coextensive with said conductors and secured to the camera housing;
• and
• c) a power supply and monitor means having a display screen coupled to said camera by said cable and both mounted in a monitor housing for displaying images captured by said camera at said display screen and positioned to be visible through a viewing port, whereby sun is shielded from the display screen.

A submersible video viewing system, comprising:

• a) a camera encased in a waterproof rubber housing, wherein a plurality of infrared lights are mounted in the housing in concentric relation to a camera lens and wherein a plurality of webs project from the camera housing to support at least an aerodynamic ballast weight and a rudder;
• b) a cable including a plurality of conductors and a strain relief member coextensive with said conductors and secured to the camera housing;
• and
• c) a power supply and monitor means having a display screen coupled to said camera by said cable and both mounted to a monitor housing for displaying images captured by said camera at said display screen.
