    Can anybody recommend any waterproof cameras?
    And which is better, waterproof digital or disposable?
    Thanks in advance.

    I just invested in a Go-Pro and it is worth every penny. It takes the best video as well as pictures. It can be taken under water and attached to anything. I even mounted to the tail of my airplane once to get an outside view. It has a SD card that can be down loaded and reused. You can also email straight from it to your computer or smart phone.

    go pro 4 silver has the touch screen on the back. the videos it takes are absolutely unreal. I wear it while I ski and the 1080p/60fps/superwide setting honestly looks more real than real life (if that makes any sense).

    I own several go pros, 2 Nikon SLRs, an Olympus water proof, Sony point n shoot, DJI Phantom vision plus (drone), and I just bought the Fuji I linked above. I have a few cams and obviously photography is a hobby of mine. Im tickled shitless with the fuji so far. I dont think it can be beat for the price and I dont feel like sacrifices were made to get this one at that price.

    There's a good deal on the fujifilm xp80 atm. Comes with remote control too.
    I'll have to find a head strap for it for the Boobs Cruise and snorkelling (to perv on mrs Kimo)

    We had two Olympus Tough's and very recently purchased the same one Fuji XP70, so far I'm very happy with my choice and for around $140 not a bad deal. Just get a large 16gb or so SD card that is a class 10. It will allow HD video if you so chose.
