It’s a decent camera for underwater, but I found that the Go Pro Hero10 worked much better for me when snorkeling. It handles better with the extension pole and I think the clarity is better on the Hero.
The only real problem I had with the TG-6 is that underwater, the view screen is difficult to see. I had no trouble with the waterproofing aspects of the Olympus, but handling it while moving in the water was awkward while still trying to see what the screen was showing me.
As far as an underwater housing for the TG-6 goes, Unless you’re a diver, I wouldn’t bother. Not many people can free dive while snorkeling down to 45ft.

Thank You. I won't be going deeper than 20 feet, I'm not a diver. Most of the time only a few feet. I was wanting to know if anyone experienced any leaks or damage to the camera after taking it under water a few feet. I hadn't considered that it may be awkward to use under water. I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thank you for responding, Lou
