A guy named Mark Hoekstra was able to get hold of a copy of Holland's Bright magazine that features a project on making a submersible webcam from a cheap webcam. After being able to make one, he is generous enough to share the fool-proof steps. Here are the only things you need: 1 cheap webcam, at least 5 meter (15ft) of USB extension cable, a clear CD cover, any wax container (cleaned and dried), strong glue, a couple of sheets of sandpaper (we recommend medium to fine grit sizes), a soldering iron and a couple of solder.

Based on the steps, making your own submersible webcam isn't too difficult at all. This is a great project that will enable you to snap underwater pictures using a homemade underwater webcam. It would be a great accessory for any fish and aquarium lovers. And what's best, it's totally cheap as you only use a webcam, some USB cables and other materials that you could find in your home. We all know that underwater cameras are pricey, so why not make one made from cheap materials. Besides, it looks fun to make one.
