1080p: 1920x1080 True HD featuring a 127° angle of view, 30 fps and 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio
960p: 1280x960 Ultra Wide and Tall HD featuring a 170° angle of view, 30 fps and 4:3 aspect ratio. See more of the action above and below than widescreen16:9 resolutions can show.
720p: 1280x720 Ultra Wide HD featuring a 170° angle of view, both 30 and 60 fps and 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio
My hunch is 960p is probably best since what i really want is the wide screen to see as much as possible...

Nice, let us know how you like it. I'd agree that 960p or 720p are your best choices. 1080p is going to be less wide, and will take a huge chunk of additional hard drive space, which for me is always at a premium on vacations.
Shooting 960p will also let you crop to 720p later if you decide you want wide angle.
I noticed that Erik posted a new, higher-res 960p dive video a couple of days ago (click through to Vimeo to see the HD version):
