hey guys and gals!

im going on my honeymoon next September and there is tons of snorkeling to do off the beach! i plan on doing some diving and a night dive also.

I would like to have an underwater camera to take with me to take tons of pictures underwater! does anyone have any suggestions?
 
I have a Panasonic DMC TS-4. I wouldn't say its an underwater camera but an all-around outdoor camera. It's waterproof to 40ft (I think), shock proof (from 6ft), freeze proof (to negative ?), dust proof etc. It takes pretty decent pics in many scenarios. I've used it many conditions and has performed well in all.

I use it to take pics in my tank. I also do a lot of saltwater fishing. I always have it with me. Give it a little freshwater rinse when I get home an all is well.

There's a newer version out (TS-5). Not sure the difference but I'm sure there are some upgrades.

It takes good pics on dry land too. Hope that helps.
