As seen very briefly in the movie Weekend at Bernie's II (1993), what is the yellow box like thing this lady is carrying? Camera? Maybe, but what make or model?

This is it! In this scene we are watching people disembark from a shuttle service on a resort on an island. Water resistance exercises were a pretty big fad back then. It all lines up. Thanks!

Glad to help! It actually brought back memories of playing around with some at my grandma's pool when I was a kid.
