I have a pair of these:
That I bought for myself as a father's day gift four or five years ago.
I know the price will seem stupid, but they're phenomenal binoculars and I'm generally a big fan of Canon lenses. Plus, the price won't seem so seem so stupid if your out in big water looking for a marker in dimming light!
They are also a great substitute for a telescope on a clear and starry night.

Very interesting :thumbsup:
Does Bushnell make good optics? I see they aren't that expensive

after looking into it these are the ones I am going to buy
Nikon Action EX Extreme - Binoculars 10 x 50 CF
The Nikon Action Extreme binoculars feature an all-metal chassis with lens fittings housed in a tough, lightweight polycarbonate body shell. Like all Nikon All Terrain Binoculars, the EX is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed for total waterproof, fogproof and shockproof performance in any environment. The binocular bodies are ergonomically shaped, tripod adaptable and are rubber coated for a non-slip grip, whether wet or dry. The new Extreme ATB offerings utilize high-resolution lenses and prism systems crafted from Nikons exclusive Eco Glass, which is made without the use of arsenic or lead. This lens system provides an extremely clear, distortion-free image over the entire field of view. The lens elements each incorporate multi-layered anti-reflective coatings formulated to deliver optimum brightness, high contrast, true color rendition and flare-free viewing in most lighting conditions. The Extreme series binoculars each feature a unique, click-stop eyecup design that not only delivers long eye relief, but also allows for variable eye relief that is customizable to the users own eyes and eyeglasses. The binoculars are central focus with a diopter control to correct for normal right/left eye vision imbalance
