For people who enjoy the water, these waterproof cameras might satisfy your creative urges when under the surface. Some of the most interesting views on the planet come when you’re underwater. From coral to multicolored fish, you can get some great shots depending on the area you’re swimming. Many of these waterproof cameras are optimal for vacations as well.
The first waterproof camera that sticks out is the wrist recorder. It straps onto your wrist so you can simply stick out your arm and start snapping photos or taking video.
We’re also seeing more goggle-mounted waterproof cameras, which take all the guess work out of holding a camera at all. Instead, you simply snap photos from the angle you’re positioned in.
