My dad has a decent sized koi pond and we toyed with the idea of a camera but I really don't think it's worth spending the money, especially on a PTZ. You'll have all kinds of weird funky things growing on the lens which will render the auto focus useless....and I've not seen (probably because I've never looked) a underwater PTZ camera. Most outdoor PTZ cameras have a rating of IP65 / IP66 which means they are sealed, but you can't just drop them in water. So, to get the submersible rating you are looking at _alot_ of money

what if you just drop the glob part of the ptz in the water aka before it get to the first seal. But i haven seen any underwater ptz ether.

If anyone finds one reasonably priced, I wouldn't mind dropping a couple into some of the aquariums we have.
