M43 setup for underwater?

Hello,

Basically, I use now gopro with a dome to get underwater pics and videos. But sometimes I would like a higher quality picture from the nicer locations (snorkel, no diving, and just brief periods in the water).

We have a larg-ish M43 setup, G70, GX80, EM10Mk2 with many lenses, also bright primes (15 1.7, 25 1.7, 42 1.7).

I could not find any reasonable housing (reasonable in price) for my cameras, did I miss anything?

I then looked at the "bags", the very simple and inexpensive solution for short use. Does it even work, any of you has experience with those ugly transpartent bags that have kind of a tube for the lens?

Would a Olympus TG5 or similar improve much our Gopro setup in terms of picture quality?

Thanks for your feedback!

ANSWER:
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85
