    FLOTTING DEVICE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY TECHNICAL FIELD
    The present disclosure relates to imaging technologies, particularly a floating photography device capable of floating and performing underwater photography.
    PRIOR ART At present, most fishing systems used for underwater detection adopt sonar imaging, with which it is difficult to obtain clear images.
    With the promotion and popularization of digital imaging technologies, optical imaging devices are increasingly used in the monitoring of schools of fish or the detection of the seabed, for example underwater cameras. As this type of device must generally be handled by humans (for example a diver), the cost of use is high and the scope of application remains limited.
