Re: Working in fast moving water
the creeper looks good.. but also looks like one more clunky thing to deal with along with the camera..  somehow the camera would have to be infinitely adjustable while still fastened to it.  I know it would have to be quite heavy to act as an anchor as I've moved big heavy boulders under the water and watched the current take them away.. 'course, they were a bit round.  I think keeping it simple.. an anchored tether, somehow easily adjustable at the person.  If you didn't need both hands to run the camera.. a simple wrap around the wrist and a good hold would suffice.. at least for going down stream.  You'd need both hands to get upstream.

O.k... so an anchored motorized winch with light cable fastened to one of those weight vests, a person tending it on the shore.. a mask that allows communication to the tender.  give me slack.. pull me in.. you do the side to side with a good pair of fins..

I know a good river to try it all out in.. you can keep the lures you find..
