Abstract
The assembly includes a molded body portion and a metal liner and has an interior portion which is adapted to receive a video camera. A transparent plate is positioned in front of the video camera, with the edges thereof received in an interior surface groove in the molded body. A clamp around the exterior portion of the body outboard of the interior surface groove provides sufficient pressure to maintain a watertight seal for the assembly. A video/power cable extends from the submerged assembly to a monitor which is located at the surface of the water, such as on a boat or raft.
