The use of video photography normally involves sub‐aqua recording via a camcorder device. The problem is that the scientist needs to be directly involved in the recording underwater or else viewing the results of the footage after the event. The system we have developed enables real time images to be relayed to a boat, satellite of shore‐based recorder. With a two‐way audio communication system, it is possible for the scientist/team to direct the camera work of the divers, remotely. The configuration of this system are discussed, and a wide range of scientific applications suggested.
