A project log for Camera Boat

This project involves creating an air-powered boat where a camera can be inserted (or FPV used) to watch underwater.

The boat was launched for the 2nd time in deeper water (about 12") and the camera recorded an eerie underwater scene resembling a barren planet. Not sure if fish were scared by the boat or there weren't that many fish present to be caught on camera. The trip was still plaqued by low battery life and weak propeller, but success with capturing video made the trip worth it. There appears to be a minor water leak near the propeller mounting that will have to be corrected.
