Just returned after  3 weeks in Alaska.  Our Hubbard Glacier & Wilderness Exploration excursion booked for June 30th DIDN'T happen.  We were on the Royal Princess and the captain had to turn back as the weather going into Hubbard was "pea soup" fog.  Oh well. 

We were booked for the same excursion on Holland America for July 3rd. We were "fogged out" as well. The excursion cost was refunded. Definitely a shame it was canceled, but glad we didn't reenact the Titanic and hit some ice or something.

I picked up an Olympus TG-4 a couple of years ago and I've been fairly happy with it on the couple of snorkeling outings. (One of them Stingray City.)  Like someone else mentioned, post-processing helps a lot to get good results. 

I ended up picking up a refurbished Olympus TG-4 for a nice price before my last cruise. I was pretty happy with it. Loved that it supports RAW photos.

Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible to get a digital camera that uses AA's or AAA's nowadays.

 

I recently got an Olympus TG-4. It's on the pricier side, but it takes RAW format photos, which makes underwater color correction (or backlighting, etc.) corrections pretty good. I find navigating the menu structure challenging, and there are more modes than you can remember. It's a bit on the heavy side for a point-and-shoot, but it takes good pictures, both above-ground (including some really nice night modes, and an awesome macro mode) and below-water.
