These waterproof cameras allow users to take still pictures or videos of fishing trips, swimming fun and boating.

They are even capable of capturing scenes under the surface of the water.

Photographers love the variety of ways to capture art in places where a camera typically cannot go.

The pictures and video are easy to upload to your computer where ever you are for editing and sharing.

As an additional perk of owning a Go-pro, you will get free software that you can use to edit your own content.

User friendly and fun for the whole family, this gadget is a must-have.

Depth Gauge

When you are on a boat, it can be impossible to figure out the depth of the water at times.

This gadget is a must-have for any boat owner as it measure the distance from the surface of the water to the bottom of your vessel.

The depth gauge will tell users different conversions in order to tailor it to your specific preferences.

It also allows you to see areas your boat can safely venture and areas your guest can safely jump or dive into the water.

Fish Finderlake; tech

Fish finders are an angler’s best friend.

If you are going fishing, and actually care if you catch something, then you will definitely enjoy the fish finder.

This piece of technology tells you where you can find the fish by digitally displaying what is under the water.

This will help you find a good spot to fish by showing you how many fish are in that specific location.

Knowing where to cast your line saves a lot of time on the lake.

Drones

Remote control helicopters and planes are extremely fun, but today’s version of a personal air-toy is the drone.

The drone has so much power that there are some that you are not allowed to fly in certain areas. Some drones even have to be registered prior to use.

To power these little machines, you cannot use a typical battery. Instead, most have rechargeable batteries and are flown using a smart phone or a tablet.

You can even go crazy and purchase one that can carry cargo like cold beers from your campsite to your boat.

Big Turtle Shell

The Big Turtle Shell is a wireless speaker that will allow you to play music without the risk of ruining your MP3 device.

Its water and shock resistant, and dust proof design make this speaker a natural for outdoor entertainment all types such as camping, fishing or boating.

 

Since the demand for convenience has increased technology, designers have been forced to think outside the box for outdoor fun. Now you are able to amp up the fun in the water, even if you prefer the techy lifestyle.
