Underwater camera

[jezsoup]

In the summer me and the good lady are heading down under... to oz.... We will be going snorkelling aroudn the barrier reef a couple of times. And there is no way in hell Im going there and not bringing back some half way decent photos.

Can anyone recommend me a decent udnerwater camer, budget wise... this is a hard one. Im looking at buying sometime before I go but then selling straight after I get back as I doubt ill have any further use for it. But wouldnt want to go over 200 (less would be fantastic) and I dont fancy a mahoosive pro BBC nature series style beast of a camera.

thanks Jo

Loads of the Canon compact range have their own dedicated underwater housings, and I know they are top-notch bits of kit having used with with a Powershot S45. Might be worth checking out if you can't find a dedicated camera.
