With two holidays this year in and around water I started looking for a general purpose camera that could be used in the water. Here were the choices I discovered:

The problem was they were expensive and the picture quality was poor as an all-purpose out-of the -water camera, or so the reviewers said.

In the end I purchased a Casio z100 because it was cheap and in the shop. This is a great party camera that slips into a pocket. To solve the waterproof issue I purchased a DiCAPac, an underwater ziplock bag that had great reviews.

Check out some of the photos on Flickr

Update:
The DiCAPac worked really well, other than it was a little big which meant you can to be careful to hold the bag tight and align the lens. I also inserted a piece of foam to make the camera sit better inside the bag.  The other issue was the camera that did not reatin the underwater program and had to setup each time, making it difficult to quickly capture images, you had to plan. What worked really well was the video!
