18:23is recommending you check out seaview.com. It looks like they have a bunch of products. They have something called the Explorer Adventure Kit.

18:53So Paul, if you are in the live chat, I would recommend grabbing some of those links and checking out those resources that Mickey pointed you to. Also, Ike Potter in Hanover, Germany suggested notacam.com has some stuff to look at as well.
