I'd try one of the disposable film cameras as a starting point. You won't need flash as you'll be able to throw plenty of light from outside the tank.

I do need light as the tank is in a bad place with very low light, would a disposable fit in thru the hole and how would you fire the camera? I need a pic of the opposite face to the entry hole.

cameras
John, why don't you take a walk around to Weyland Bay and ask Dougie as he has high resolution cameras and lamps that bolt on to the kirby's. These things are the size of a large marker pen and can be wrist mounted too, he has all the gear you'll ever need, go and speak to him!

How about something like this? No idea what your budget is like but you could then take video of this awkward little hole? Althought you may have to come up with an idea for directing it?

video has been used and is not up to the job the guys want, it looks like it has to be a time lapse still photo but thanks for the suggestions anyway, will spak to Dougie as well,thanks Ian.
