Default Best picture taking drones under $300?

In a few weeks, I am going great white shark cage diving at Isla Guadalupe. During the times that I'm not in the cage, I'd like to fly an affordable drone with camera around to take photos from the air of the boat and of the sharks in the water from a birds eye view. I'd like it to be somewhat user friendly to recall and land as well. I don't want to break the bank on a really nice one, because there is always the chance that when trying to land it, I lose it in the ocean, or I land it in the ocean accidentally and it gets ruined by the salt water. It's not necessary that I have one that can be controlled by my smartphone, because my phone is not going to work a couple hundred miles out into the Pacific anyway. However, I do want it to have a relatively user friendly remote control and would like it to take color photos and videos.

Anyone have experience in this area and that can offer a good recommendation under $300, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Mike
