Using GoPro camera to inspect bottom/prop
 
Here's a video we made with our GoPro camera. We wanted to take a look to see how bad the bottom looked before we cleaned it. What we saw when we popped the SD card into the laptop was a surprise! We just took an old boat hook, by the way, and a little bit of drilling here, a couple of screws here, and we had our own camera extender!

If the water's clear you can also do a cursory inspection with a mechanic's mirror on a stick..
