Newbie needs recommendation for underwater camera

[sytech]

I have about 200+ dives under my belt and would like to learn something about underwater photography.

I realize that this is a VERY broad topic but would like to get recommendations for a dedicated underwater camera which takes good photos, isn't too complicated and can be relied on to be waterproof.

Price range to about $750.


Thanks

If you don't mind the shutter speed (lack of) Seaquest makes a good housed camera. I'd sell you my DC500 but I'm hooked on the camera. It is simple and takes good shots but I'm frustrated with the lack of shutter speed. When a school of Hammerhead sharks is going over you and you only get one picture, it's super frustrating. I upgraded to a DSLR (Nikon) and it comes with a DVD that really does a good job of teaching me the camera.
