Title: Water window

Abstract: An underwater viewing device for use by a person standing in relatively shallow water and comprising a central transparent viewing window peripherally surrounded by a support structure which maintains the window parallel with and slightly beneath the surface of the water. A light affecting element is disposed within the structure adjacent the window. The support structure houses one or more storage compartments and a flotation ring which buoys and trims the viewing device while floating in the water. Fishnet covers enclose the compartments to prevent spillage of their contents. A light within the support structure permits night use.
