Abstract
An underwater camera system comprising a remote station such as a boat a diver connection module located at the back of diver's helmet including a splitter box. High voltage transmission power and a fiber optics tether come into the box from the boat on the surface through the fiber optics which can be integral with, attached to or coextending with the umbilical cord. The voltage is dropped, the fiber optic signal is converted to USB, and the two are fed out to the camera module which is adjustably mounted on the side of the diver's helmet, to allow change of focus in the same line of sight as the diver's vision and allowing full handsfree use.
