Today was the first try for my pre-Christmas present.  http://goprocamera.com/

It is a wrist mount, waterproof to 30 feet digital camera for much less than $80........shop around.

Here is the first picture I took on it.  It was a snap to load the images on my computer.

It seems to produce nice, shareable images.  The learning curve seems to lie in getting your subject in the frame.  You frame the picture within the 1/4 inch x 5/8 inch viewfinder. 

I am looking forward to trying it while free diving.  Its waterproofness is attained via its plastic case.  The manufacturer does not guarantee that it will be waterproof after you open and close it.........which you do in order to put in the battery.

Based on one outing, I think it is still a clever camera......and I look forward to capturing the picture that I want.

Seabreeze - A very intersting image of Monterey Bay - it has the feel of an oil painting which is kinda nice for a landscape - seascape image. I and some family were out there on Thanksgiving morning in the yaks for a scenic paddle - a very beautiful spot! How it does with shots where you want more detail will tell the tail.I hope you post more results - I'm looking at a "water-proof" digital camera for X-mas maybe. Still having a problem trying to upload to the photo gallery. Tom
