What is a good camera to buy that can be submerged?

Olympus sells a Tough TG-1. It's 12 or 14 mega pixels I think. It has a bigger lens opening than 95% of the other tough underwater cameras so it can work at a faster shutter speed. We use it when we go snorkeling and it's great! We get pics like this:

Thanks Rev. They are from our trip to Laughing Bird Key off the coast of Belize in May. I need to stick this camera in the aquarium and give it a try there!

The Olympus or Fuji cameras are nice. I have used the Fuji, but Olympus is an offshoot of Fuji so they are basically the same stuff inside.

Panasonic makes a nice one too, but I am not sure on the photo quality.

With all of them though, make sure you rinse them off well after use or they can get gummed up with salt.
