50 ft max.
What do you want to the camera to do? If it's just for mementos and showing your friends/family that you really did see a shark or moray, then one of the cheap action cams that comes with a housing is fine. I have this one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H9M4NPB - but there's a bunch that are similar. I tied a bolt snap to the housing where the holes for the mounts are and normally leave it clipped off to a D-ring.Hi everyone! I love looking at all of your beautiful photos, thank you for sharing!
At this point I don't want to invest in a bunch of equipment. Its less about the money and more about all the gear needed. I love the unencumbered experience of being in the water.
And I'd like to take a few photos every now and then.
Is there such a thing as a simple point and click that doesn't need a big case or strobe,and that can go to 80' or so?
Thanks!
If she gets 2, she can go to 100 feet divided by two.50 ft max.

I think this description boils down to two choices:
You can research the +'s and -'s for either option. So far I've been happy with the Paralenz. I attached a bolt snap to the end of it and clip it off like a backup light, and generally forget about it unless I see something I want to take a clip or photo of.
- Action cam like a gopro in a housing + a few basic filters
- Paralenz Vaquita (more expensive, but similar in quality to an action cam and you won't need filters or a housing).
You'll likely hear people say the paralenz is overpriced, batt life isn't good enough, etc. It's all accurate, but if you're considering the convenience of not needing a housing or filters, not needing to do post-processing to get basic decent looking footage/pics, I think it's the best device out there.
