Anyone recommend an underwater camera?

[daviebroon]

Disposable or keepsies? Anything cheapish considered (£120 max)

Thanks

I was going to say I recommend the Pentax WP - great fun - but for £120 that's a no go me thinks.

Have you got a camera already? You can buy underwater housings for a large range of them.

Yes mate, i've got an FZ18... but they dont do a housing for it. Searched everywhere

Disposables are suprisingly good. We had a few in the Maldives and got some great shots of sharks, turtles etc.

That olympus mju 850sw is 179 quid in jessops, likely get that cheaper online, water proof to 3 meters

^ have you used the vivitar camera before mate?

I had a vivital digi cam a few years ago and was just awful, but that doesnt mean the waterproof one is.
