Mixed use camera?

Over the last few years I've been getting in to various different sports and am looking for a mixed use camera to use.

Ideally I'd like something to cover me above ground when I ski and kayak as well as underwater when I snorkel. I'm also about to start my PADI training so ultimately it's going to be used when diving.

Originally I had planned to get a go pro as that's what everyone on the slopes has but the stills aren't the best quality.

I'd looked at the TG5 but it's only certified to 15m without a separate housing. My certified friend, who wants to go on diving trips with me, has said he would prefer not being depth restricted because of the camera.

I don't need it for anything other than action type stuff because I have a proper dslr. I was also hoping not to spend huge amounts as I had just intended the pictures to be for us rather than any commercial work.
