Shooting vid and taking pictures SIMULTANEOUSLY underwater

[denvers]

I am fully aware that the volume button/s can be used to take pictures underwater as a workaround for when you're underwater or wearing gloves but is there a way (app, tricks, etc..) to take pictures WHILE shooting a video?

In normal conditions, iOS 7 allows us to take pictures while shooting a video by tapping the white circle while the video is recording but then again, I will be shooting underwater so... any ideas?

As much as possible, I'd like to avoid the hassle of having to "slice" the video into frames just to get pictures

TL;DR is there an app/trick that would allow me to take pictures while shooting a video without tapping (i.e., timed or using vol. buttons)?

Thanks in advance for your replies

Screenshot?

I thought of that, too but won't it reduce the quality/resolution?

Yes. Thats your only option

Go figure - there's an app for that.

Take a look at the Sametime app. Shoots video and will take a simultaneous photo with a tap.

But the OP will be underwater. The screen won't work underwater.

What about taking pictures out of the video afterward? There are some apps, like Stillshot for example, that would allow for that.

I assumed they would have some sort of housing where they can manipulate their phone (and screen).
