I just bought one (arriving tomorrow) and would use maximum for snorkeling videos. As you are up to test in an extreme condition, I was curious how well it works. Thanks!

Thanks for the info on this. Going to order it from Amazon today. Aside: IMO, the Flip sure doesn't seem to have gained the respect it deserves. It certainly is a great pocket camcorder!

It's a 10.1MP still camera that's waterproof to 10 meters >>without a housing<<, freezeproof to 14 degrees, shockproof, dustproof and crushproof. It also takes QVGA and VGA video at 15 or 30 fps. Here's a writeup: http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews_olympus_mju_1030_sw.php Yes, it's a bit spendier than a Flip ($350 street), but it takes great still pictures as well as video. Here a short video (QVGA, 15fps) that I shot with mine while on vacation this month: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEcJQVFa6cg If you like playing in the water, you should check out the Olympus 1030SW.

Thats OK for some uses. As I rarely dive over 60 min on a single tank I am thinking of velcro strapping the case to my BC on a chest strap and just hitting record at the top of a dive. I'll check the video when I get back up, no reason to hit stop and go over and over, why bother task loading? I'll see what I get, the angle may take some work. @Chris That Pelican box will work, but you can’t press any buttons under water. Thats OK for some uses.
