Any suggestions for a reasonably priced water proof digital camera?

My family is going to attend Jean-Michel Cousteau's family camp on Catalina island. Snorkeling will be a highlight of course.
A local dive shop has one for $300, but that is a bit pricey for a camera that I will use only every couple of years.

Just what I was looking for.

2. Fuji & Olympus

Back in my surf fishing days I used inexpensive point n' shoot cameras from Olympus and Fuji. I still occasionally use them for kayaking.

3. Do you otherwise do photography? N/T

If so you could pick up a dedicated waterproof housing:

Which fits a Nikon J1 with a 10-30 (30-90mm equiv) lens which sell used in the 100-200 dollar range and is a super pocket sized camera. All in around $300 (+/_) yet you get a high performance dive camera system and a compact digital...

4. Underwater photography

Instead of a waterproof camera, look at REI or some other outdoor store for a bag that has clear plastic and makes a waterproof seal. Especially good for point and shoot digital cameras.

5. If you mean a GoPro-style action camera...

... that's not so expensive, the two that I would recommend are the Hawkeye Firefly 8S (or 8SE), about $110 to $140 (depending on model and lens), and the Xiaomi Seabird, which is around $100. They both have 12MP Sony sensors and produce pretty good photos and smooth 4K video. There are literally dozens of cheaper 4K action cameras, but buyer beware -- check out YouTube reviews for anything that looks tempting. Some are fake 4K (interpolated); some are not smooth because of dropped frames and/or low frame rates; some just have bad image quality; and the very cheapest ones are all of the above.

6. Often dive shops will do GoPro rentals

You might inquire about that before you drop money for something you may not use again.
