I have an Olympus Stylus Tough camera that I really like. It takes great pictures underwater and topside. You can get one as cheap as $150 (used) and new they run from $300- $380.
* It?s very intuitive to use.
* It does still photos and video
* You can use it for snorkeling / down to 33feet (10m) without any housing.
* It?s super-durable. I have dropped this camera 4-5 times (even on concrete) and you?d never know it.
The Stylus Tough is more of a point and shoot (as opposed to a DSLR) but it has a few manual settings (white balance, different modes for underwater wide, underwater macro, etc).
The camera is good to 10 meters / 33 feet without a housing. I don?t think you?re going to find a digital camera that goes deeper than this without a housing ? unless you get an underwater camera where the case basically is the housing, but those are gigantic and not good for taking photos topside because they?re so bulky.
Olympus makes an underwater housing and it?s about $280. The other thing I like about the Olympus is that if the housing leaks, it means you won?t fry the camera! I can?t tell you how many dive trips I?ve been on where people are devastated after an o-ring fails or their housing gets bumped one too many times in the rinse bin.
One last thing; if you?re brand new or a beginner to underwater photography, I recommend taking a class either online or in person. I wasted so much time trying to ?get the hang of it? on my own. I have all these blue photos from amazing dive destinations and felt so disappointed. I?ll paste a link below to a couple online photo courses.
