Have you tried the 11X close-up yet. Absolutely amazing. We use it at my work to record incoming boards and small defects on small electronic components. Does better than our $1K+ cameras even with cropping.
I have not! But will give it a whirl!

Thanks for all the helpful comments. The Olympus should arrive today so I will start looking for a floating strap. Looking forward to spending some time getting familiar with the menu.

Hope you have a great time. Remember to get close, the less water between you and your subject the better!!

Visit Backscatter.com. They are strictly in the niche of underwater photography. They sell, review and advise.

One other thing not mentioned here - The Olympus TG-6 has 2 extra lenses that attach directly to the camera. One is a fisheye, the other a telephoto. Also - you can get an attachment that clamps over the lens and uses the built in flash to give a ring light to the camera. And - there is an attachment that will allow it to fit various filters to the camera. There is a lot of flexibility with this camera.

I have an opportunity coming up to do some snorkeling and was wanting a small point and shoot waterproof camera to take along. I have looked ay the Ricoh WG-7 that runs around $250.
Does anyone have any recommendations on the Ricoh or any other P&S that will work for underwater shots?
Are P&S cameras capable of decent underwater shots?
Hopefully, it will be in full sun so that helps.

Check out the Fuji xp-140. Just used one on whale watching trip to Cabo San Lucas.
Got some pretty decent Blue Whales photos even hanging the camera over the side of the boat, underwater.
