New Project, Step 0: Deep water submersible goal of ~2000 ft

I am in research mode for attempting to build an underwater ROV that can send live video to the surface from  the depths of a deep lake such as Lake Tahoe or Wakatipu.

My project will start with the feasibility of pressure proofing video cameras with mineral oil. this may prove difficult due to the fact that the index of refraction of mineral oil is very similar to the index of refraction of lens plastic.

perhaps a compensating lens can be used in a water chamber.

Test #1: submerge a cheap video camera in mineral oil, and attempt to obtain a focused picture.
