do they make a float for the gopro

While jetksiing today my boy dropped my new gopro +LCD into the water and we couldn't save it ...

Now for gopro #2 I want to attach a float to it so if we loose it it won't sink we can just grab it.

Only thing im finding are floating trap doors? any other kinds that attach with a tether or something ?

thanks.

Cut a section of foam pool noodle to tape to it, tie it to an empty water bottle, or just tie it off to the jetski

I made my own floating handle with pvc, spray foam inside, glued a couple end caps on, and used a handle bar mount for the camera. Slid a bike grip on and it looks legit.

Go Pro does sell a Float backing, its massive though, I'm sure theres a few other alternatives that you can home brew easily.
