9. An insert, comprising:
-
an upper surface adapted to receive a terminal; a supporting member adapted to maintain the terminal in a determined relationship with respect to the upper surface; and a lower surface adapted to releasably couple with an inner surface of a watertight housing, where the watertight housing is adapted to allow the terminal to take a picture while the watertight housing is submerged. - View Dependent Claims (10)

11. A housing, comprising:
-
a window to allow subject information to reach a lens of a terminal supported in the housing; an insert supported via an inner surface of the housing, where the insert is adapted to receive the terminal and to maintain the terminal in a determined position with respect to the window; at least one input device located on an outer surface of the housing; a cable releasably coupled to the at least one input device via a first end and to the terminal via a second end, where the cable is adapted to pass a signal from the at least one input device to the terminal when the at least one input device is activated. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method, comprising:
-
receiving an insert adapted to support a terminal in a determined relationship with respect to an inner surface of an underwater housing; receiving the terminal via the insert; receiving a user input via a button while the underwater housing is substantially submerged; sending a signal related to the user input to the terminal via a cable, where the signal causes the terminal to capture an image via a lens proximate to a window in the underwater housing; and providing a representation of the captured image to the user through the underwater housing. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
