Underwater Cams: Bahia Honda Webcam

Bahia Honda Camera:

This camera is positioned in twenty feet of water on a concrete piling of a bridge in the Florida Keys. It is completely powered by on-site solar and wind infrastructure. It was installed by the Teens4Oceans crew in December 2008, and was reinstalled by a group of 11 students at the end of June 2009. Please visit our Photo Gallery to view images of the installation.

The best time for viewing is at slack tides, especially the high slack tide. View tide tables for the submersible cameras.

Announcement (2-22-2012): The Bahia Camera was recently replaced with a self-cleaning housing that has been in testing. The unit has performed superbly!. You might notice the cleaning system in the field of view from time to time. A second unit will be deployed in mid-February as we test different cameras; we need to optimize elements such as white balance and iris control. Thank you again for all of your support and cheers!

Thank you to our friends at Underwater Fishlight who provided us with a new underwater lighting system at Bahia Honda. We will be turning lights on each evening between approximately 7pm and 11pm. If the light is not on at the scheduled time, check back the next night. Please consider making a donation using the "donate" button above. Thank you for your generous support!

Learn about common fish at Bahia Honda. Help us with our fish guide by sending us snapshots (your best) of fish that YOU take with screen captures. We will post a list of individual species below the video feed once we are happy with the image that will be used. Please email them to Emily and we will recognize the person who takes the best image. Please write "fish species: your name" in the subject line of your email.
