Abstract: A modular, portable, submersible video viewing system. The system includes a viewing monitor, camera and interconnecting multi-conductor cable that store and deploy for underwater viewing. Webs at the camera housing interconnect to cable clips, bottom support plates, a swivel coupler or steering guide and/or pole to control camera orientation. Alternative rudders and/or hydrodynamic ballast weights (with or without a keel) mount to the webs to control camera tracking when towed. A fish-shaped camera is also disclosed. Alternative stationary supports permit directed or “pan” viewing. A multi-aperture reflection suppressor and etched lens mount to the camera and cooperate with an array of LED's to direct light relative to the viewing field of the camera lens. Various sunshields, lights and/or lenses and filters are optionally mountable to the monitor and camera. Alternative monitor housings are disclosed that contain the viewing monitor, battery and attendant control circuitry and camera.
