Snorkeling

Going to Key West soon need a good waterproof camera for snorkeling?

I was in Oahu this summer and the one I bought sucked! the one thing I discovered was that if you're serious you will have to get one with light filtering - when you go under the water there is some UV blocking and it effects the pictures you'll be taking.

exactly. my mom and dad were in Maui a couple years ago and my dad used one of those underwater disposable ones and most of the pics were just too blue. heres probably the only decent ones he took (out of like 3-4 rolls of film) hope you dont mind me posting.

I used those disposable ones last summer in Hawaii and they suck. You have to spend well into the hundreds to get decent pics.
