camera for diving ?

Antonio Huerta pounded away at his keyboard
resulting in:

:I would like to dive and take casual pictures of the rocks and fishes.
:What waterproofed camera should I get ? I do not want an expensive
ne, because it is first of all for experimenting. And I would not be
:sorry if I did not do much diving (thus would not be sorry for the
:sunken cost... gee, pun not intended).
:
:I am aware that there are Olympus mu kind of cameras which are
:waterproofed, but I am not sure about their suitability for diving and
:their image quality. I am also aware that there are housings for
:"land" cameras. But I do not know about their suitability...
:

Take a look at SeaLife. Their camera's are ok and reasonably
inexpensive.

Or, visit your local camera merchants and ask about housings. Canon,
Sony, Fuji, and others make housings and cameras that go with them.
You could probably kit yourself out for less than $600.

Someone said you need an external strobe. That is less true now than
it was with film. I don't use one. You can look at some of my photos

Someone else mentioned eBay. Take a look, and if you need opinions on
any offerings, post the links here.
