Cabos -

In March, I will be a quest speaker at a Public Safety Divers seminar located at Southwest Texas State University here in Texas. My topic will be the use of underwater video cameras for underwater evidence documentation. I will have three SEVU cameras with me including this one we have modified into a hand held camera for a solo diver.

I have been a speaker/instructor at this annual seminar for this past three years and have covered multiple topics. This conference is attended by dive teams from across the Southern US and last year even the Royal Canadian Mounted Police dive team attended. I have contacted SEVU and have been pushing for them to deploy a version of this camera in the way we have it modified for dive team rescue/recovery use.

I think this would be a hot item that would sell for less than $200 and become a dive team standard for underwater evidence collection, documentation, and preservation. Many years ago dive teams were nothing more than a "grab and slab" operation where the body was found, dragged out, and wrapped in a bag. The teams have evolved into underwater crime scene technicians were the hands are preserved for forensic evidence under the finger nails, the boots/shoes are preserved to match soil samples with the surrounding area, etc.

SEVU could be missing a golden opportunity here by not breaking into the public safety diving field. I do not know of any other 12V UW cameras that are used in this way. SEVU could and should be the first.
