Camera Buoy for Underwater Photography
A camera buoy defining a pentahedral body holds a camera in position to view a lure trailing the buoy. The buoy has a leader attached at two points, with preference for one given to an attachment bolt joining the camera and the buoy and having two eyelets for attachment to a main line and a lure line. An elastic band may interface with the second attachment point and further secure the camera. A sinker may be attached to a weaker lure line to sink the buoy and allow retrieval if the weaker line breaks. The buoy may be used with or without a lure.
Remotely controlled floating cooler assembly and method
A remotely controlled, self-propelled floating cooler includes a main body member that generally has an ovoid shape, as shown, for streamlined movement through the water. The main body member is generally hollow, which allows for ice, drinks, food, and the like to be placed inside of the main body member through an opening or hatch on top. A lid may be removably secured to the opening on top, and preferably includes securing means for maintaining the lid in a closed position, even in rough water. Remotely controlled propulsion means are attached to an underside of the cooler on one end thereof. Other features include an audio receiver with speakers, port and starboard running lights, GPS navigation, submerged spotlights, and video cameras mounted above and below the waterline, all of which may be operated via a remote control device.

FLOATING OBSERVATION SYSTEM
Provided is a floating observation system, comprising a floating platform. The floating platform comprises an upper deck (1), several upright posts (3), a device compartment (2), a ballast compartment (4), a radome structure (5) and a device installation base (6). Top ends of the upright posts (3) are connected to the upper deck (1), and bottom ends thereof are connected to the device compartment (2). The ballast compartment (4) is connected to the device compartment (2). The radome structure (5) is borne on the upper deck (1). The device installation base (6) is arranged on the outer surface of the floating platform. The floating platform has a reasonable structure and a powerful bearing capacity. Various types of devices can be borne by the upper deck (1) and the device compartment (2) on the floating platform. Meanwhile, various observation devices can be borne by the device installation base (6) arranged on the outer surface of the floating platform so as to observe different kinds of information and to stereoscopically observe the spaces above, on and under the water, thus meeting the demand for comprehensive observation in all dimensions.

Floating Storage Box
A floating storage box includes a box that may contain objects. A first float is coupled around the box. The first float is comprised of a buoyant material to float the box when the box is placed in water. A pair of wheels is each rotatably coupled to the box to roll along a support surface. A pair of legs is coupled to the box to abut the support surface. A first lid is hingedly coupled to the box such that the first lid selectively closes the box. A second lid is hingedly coupled to the first lid.
