Not sure if this should go in "tech talk" or not - if so mods please move as appropriate.

The family and I are taking a trip to the Dominican Republic in December and, of course, will be playing in the ocean and pool etc. I'd like to buy a camera that is waterproof and will take reasonable pictures underwater, but I don't anticipate we are going to be scuba diving or the like - more like snorkling at the most.

This is the current one that seems to balance price, toughness and features.

Nikon Coolpix AW100

I know there are many excellent photographers that frequent CalgaryPuck and was hoping some might have some experience in this. I'm not looking to become an outdoor adventure photographer, but would like something that takes a decent picture, and that the kids can figure out how to use without a university course.

Thanks for any input / recommendations.
