SO BEFORE I WENT TO CAYMAN, I bought a Nikon W300 underwater camera. It’s a point-and-shoot, but it’s a fancy point-and-shoot and most importantly, it’s waterproof to 100 feet. I took it along on almost every dive, and it worked fine — the viewfinder even shows you your depth, with a warning orange bar when you get deeper than 75 feet. It never leaked, and the quality of pics was pretty good.

It’s a decent out-of-water camera too, and it’s shockproof — which really means shock-resistant, but it’s tougher than most other cameras. (Bumped).

UPDATE: Some earlier underwater photos here.
