Good CHEAP underwater digital camera?

[esulerzy]

We are booked with DCL for later this year. We plan to take a Sea Trek excursion (plus lots of splashing around other water excursions like kayaking and pool time) and would like to get a good CHEAP underwater digital camera to take on the trip with us. We are looking for one that can go at least 30 feet underwater and takes clear photos.

We do not anticipate using this camera much after the cruise - that's why I'm thinking CHEAP

Any thoughts? TIA

I don't think you are going to find one cheap that does 30 ft. All the inexpensive ones I have seen only go to 10 feet. In fact I think 30 feet is going to get you into the really expensive side. You might be better off doing some sort of regular camera and a case.

I just looked and the cheapest I could find was the Pentax WG-1 at $270.

There is this one. Says good to 10m, whether that is accurate or not I don't know, that is awfully cheap for more than 10ft. I have a SeaLife that looks exactly like it and it takes decent pictures. My SeaLife is good to 75ft. but I paid more like $200 3 years ago.
