Anyone know of a project that would allow an underwater webcam supporting livestreaming?

Also it looks like the Labpano Pilot One will stitch and live stream directly out of the camera.

Supports RTSP, RTMP, SRT streaming protocols.

Also has a heatsink option for prolonged operation.

Do you have any specific requirements? Or just looking for ideas?

It would be useful to describe your application or use case.

You may not actually need a full 360 camera though as a 180 degree fisheye lens on the underside of a boat/buoy pointing downward may be sufficient for water quality observation. This would likely reduce the cost and the amount of data to be transmitted.
