    Going to Mexico on vacation and hope to do some snorkeling while there.  Has anybody used the cheapo disposable cameras and had any luck with them?

    They look about as good as the disposable land cameras.......I've been wanting this one of Amazon.  Of course I'd have to actually go someplace warm and tropical to use it /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif

    Thanks for the replies - wish I'd thought to ask sooner because of the good ideas..  Leaving Thursday (weather permitting) so my timeframe is tight enought that I'm not going to gamble on shipping.  Might be a good enought excuse to convince my wife to go again next year!  Of course if I bring up the camera she'll bring up the LEDs I've been drooling over.

    I got an enclosure similar to the one phishcrazee mentioned above for my Canon SD850is and I highly recommend the Canon enclosures.
