Had an Olympus waterproof camera and it was just OK. You could take pics underwater, but not too many places round here where the visibility is good enough to do that. I was not really impressed by the quality of the other pictures.
Plenty of good cameras for less than $250, I shoot a SLR Canon, but don't really care for their point and shoot cameras. Bought my wife a Panasonic Lumix for about that price and it takes great pictures. She had a Nikon and it was too bulky to go in her purse and this one is really compact. Got her a little hard case for it and it is still smaller than that Nikon. I would suggest against the waterproof and just keep it in a Ziploc bag if you are on the water. I take my cameras on almost every fishing trip and just keep them out the water. Best Buy has some good deals on them occasionally in the Sunday paper
