Start researching underwater housings for digital video cams.  It used to 
be that video housings were all $2000+.  There are now some commercial 
housings for some for the very small digital video cameras for less than 
$600 (not including the camera obviously).  Can't recall exactly where I 
saw this - but it was during a search for a digital still housing.  IR 
remotes will function through the housing if needed (you'll need to fashion 
a housing for the remote but that should be relatively easy).

One site that might get you started is:
http://www.backscatter.com/ click on the housing finder and look for one of 
the many small video camera models.


There is also plenty of info on-line about building your own housings using 
regular plumbing related parts (basically PVC sewer pipe with a glass port 
on the end!).
