Cracked the casing, ruined it, ruined the memory card, everything. And the store wouldn't take it back because I'd taken it to about 12 feet. A deep swimming pool can actually damage it.

You're much better off with the casing that Jean Marcus suggests - it will go to 25-50 feet depending what you buy, which is good enough for any snorkeling, and if you get a 50-footer should work for shallow scuba trips.
im gonna have to let a friend of mine knows who just got one of those... i dont think she has taken it swiming or anything yet. mainly we just have fun with it by throwing it in someones drink at a party haha

Olympus Stylus 790SW 7.1MP Waterproof Digital Camera with Dual Image Stabilized 3x Optical Zoom (Orange)
7.1-megapixel CCD captures enough detail for photo-quality 15 x 20-inch prints
2.5-inch HyperCrystal LCD screen minimizes glare
3x optical zoom; Face Detection technology
Waterproof (down to 10 feet), freeze-proof, and crush-proof design
27 Shooting modes; in-camera editing options
Just an aside (don't mean to hijack), but I just wanted to say you should be very happy with your Olympus. I'm on my third Olympus camera (keep upgrading, I'm a bit of a photo nut), and have no complaints whatsoever.

We got disposable waterproof cameras for our OOT bags. At Kmart I think. They were probably $12 each but we have very few people coming to our wedding so we only had to buy 4 or 5. Don't know how good the pictures will be. I think we got cameras like this when we went to Hawaii a few years ago and the pictures were fine. I have a feeling FI 11 year old neice will be the one using them the most. cheer2.gif

i havent heard very reliable things about those bags.. they are difficult to operate and well. i just dont trust a bag when it comes to going underwater...

just make sure you get the one that fits your exact model number or it wont fit at all in there :)
