Camera placement is everything. For 2$ I bought a yard stick and some the cheapest plastic string I could find. I cut grooves into the sides of the yard stick at an end and lashed the gopro’s case to the stick.
This way I can place the camera a yard away from where I am, great for getting in and around rocks to see whats up.
Also, since the yardstick was made of wood, it was positively bouyant enough to float the entire rig if it were to be accidentally dropped.
TL;DR: 1$ yardstick+1$ ball of twine, a little DIY and you have a better snorkling/diving rig.
