The Carson Raven is waterproof, fog-proof and lightweight. It’s equipped with 16mm eye relief and has a field of view of 356 feet at 1,000 yards. It’s an overall great gadget to have fun with at the beach whether it’s for looking at landscapes or checking out beach baes.

This motorized remote control submarine can dive down to a depth of 8 meters. It checks in at 7.7 kilograms and is 70 centimeters long. This is the 2nd version of the Seawolf submarine–the primary difference being that it can mount a GoPro Hero3 or Hero4 to film underwater. There are two versions of the Seaworlf submarine: one for fresh water and one for salt water. Whoever thought you could play with RC’s underwater? It’s RC on a whole new level, and it’s pretty useful too.

It’s literally like flying underwater. This underwater scooter is a great device for diving enthusiasts. Scuba diving can be exhausting, forcing you to take breaks and waste precious time underwater.

Shut up and take my money!
