I used this camera in Hawaii. Any pictures taken underwater with this camera should be extremely close range, no more than a couple feet away, and the water has to be very clear and extremely well lit. The pictures will be a bit grainy and fuzzy. Which is to be expected to a certain degree. The best purpose for this camera is taking pictures in the water, but not necessarily under the water except under ideal conditions. I wasn't too happy with this one, might be worth the extra cash to get one with flash on it, becaues at the end of the day when only a few pictures turn out, it's not really worth it.

Each year I purchase a couple of these cameras for our snorkeling trips or just horsing around in the pool. They take great pics, have a rubberband type handle so you don't loose them in the water, and they're very inexpensive. Especially great for kids to use.

First rule of under water photography is distance. No greater than 8 feet of water between you and the object. According to physics; light travels slower under water than in air, therefore the amount of light the camera can capture with its limited disposable camera lens is smaller than in air.
I purchased this camera at a dive shop with the understanding of limited distance. The pictures came out fantastically! Of the 27 exposures 1 picture did not come out; octopus rarely stay still for pictures.

I purchased 2 of these cameras to use in a water park, not one picture came out! My friend had the same issue. I suggest only get these if you are in the carribian with the sun blasting otherwise you are wasting your money and will be dissipointed because your family vacation photos wont come out.

Took snorkeling off St. Croix. Where the light was good, the pictures turned out ok but the color was more blue than necessary. I was able to color balance the digital copies I got to make most turn out pretty good but the prints from development were too blue in almost all cases.
