Waterproof Video Cameras?

Could somebody help a brotha out here? I need to find out what kind of cameras these guys are using on all of the DVD's out there. They are riding on tubes in front of the boarders and catching sweet footage up close. What kind of video equipment are they using? Can anyone tell me where to buy it? Thanks.

you can buy video camera housings that are waterproof... you put your camera inside and your safe. but i dont know anything about them really.

even with a housing though, you can still drop you camera in the water and lose it! like what if you fall off the tube?

dudes are so crazy they probably just hold a $1000 camera in their hands and hope they don't fall...

What is really cool is when they mount a camera to the rider's helmet or the handle.

You can get a cool underwater shot by putting any camera into a fish tank and then putting the fish tank in the water. Obviously you cant really take that deep but... I'm just throwin' that out there.
