Anyone know where I get something like this from in the U.K. ? Better still has anyone ever used one and are able to advise if they are actually any good ! Perhaps you have one to sell - PM me if you do. Further, if anyone else is turned on by this item and wants one pm me and I'll research discounts for bulk purchases !

All you need is a bucket with a bit of glass at the bottom!!! Seriously and they work quite well.

A more high tech solution is one of these

Technology has gone so cheap you can get some really good stuff now - waterproof bullet cams for £65 use leds for illumination - couple up to a laptop or portable tv etc - if you have a Raymarine E series you can use that - great for inspecting a hull etc!!!
