I’ve been using the TG4 since it came out with the Olympus battery and with oem batteries and both last about the same. I usually get two 45-60 min dives shooting stills and sometimes have to power the camera down toward the end of the second dive u til I’m ready to shoot just to make sure it doesn’t die out on me. I always bring spare batteries on the boat.
 
I get two dives of up to 90 minutes with 50 plus still shots per dive on one battery with my TG5.
 
With my TG-5 if I do two 60 minute dives, I generally need to turn the camera off on the second dive when I am not using or else it will run out before the end of the dive. This happens no matter how many photos I take on the first dive (flash is only 1/64 power).
 
It's a little difficult to quantify this.
One person may use it for a total of five minutes a dive while another twenty minutes.

I think I can get a total of thirty minutes.
That's over four dives.
