If you would, please make your suggestions for an underwater camera with pricing and how many feet they are able to go without any issues.

I currently have an iPhone 4s in a Lifeproof case. The case retails for $79.99 and can go 2 meters. Normal iPhone camera.

I also have a Contour GPS ~$300 with a waterproof housing that can go 180ft underwater. It is a HD video camera I got to mount to my motorcycle. It has a built in GPS. It will also take snapshots every few seconds.

Neither camera is "made" for underwater use but I have used both. I use my phone for my tank videos/pictures and the contour when diving. When diving I have noticed that the Contour camera pics up a lot of the particles and is not able to see the full visibility. It also has a focal range of 2 feet - infinity. So anything closer than two feet and it's not going to be good for.

The housing for the contour is $40 if I remember correctly. They also have versions without GPS that start around $200

I bought one of those waterproof pouches off ebay for my Nikon point and shoot camera for when we go snorkeling in Hawaii. It works great and its cheap. I have dove about 5-8 feet down and snapped lots of pics with it. Never lets in a drop of water.
