No worries the camera is the waterproof Pentax Optio WP.

Good for up to 30 minutes at a depth of no more than 1.5 meters. Still, its
a great idea. Perfect for snorkelling.

LOL, one of my boys dropped his Sony camcorder in the ocean and it is
totally stuffed.

Great! Liked the full-face shot of the fish. Reminds me of someone,
but I can't place him. Grin.

Hi Scott,

Where in Hawaii? One of my favourite places in the world. Mind you I have
only been to Oahu but I have been back a couple of times.

Cheers.

I think I read that the last model of WP was not functional in the
water? So, this is a big improvement!

I found that Guam offers the best reef snorkeling of any place I have
been, but of course I haven't been to Australia.
