USB Endoscope Camera Recommendations?

[CaptainBob]

I need to clean out my diesel tanks and am thinking a cheap USB endoscope might be a handy addition to my toolkit on occasion. There's loads and loads of different ones on Ebay for very little £. Any specific recommendations?

TY!

Get a waterproof one, handy for looking under the hull.

Or up where the sun does not shine

The one I bought suggested you insert it into your ears or up your nose. The camera's fairly small, but it ain't small enough for that!

I bought mine for looking under the hull (can't just park the new boat on a beach for a look-see). The eBay ad did say "waterproof", but having received it I'm wondering exactly how waterproof it really is. The camera is in a plastic tube, the back end seems reasonably well sealed around the cable with silicone or something, but I'm not convinced by the window at the front. Anyone used one of these (I think all the cheap eBay ones are much the same) under a metre or two of water?
