Hi Doc,

I do not have experience with the small cameras, but if I would go for one I would have a look at:

#1.: Olympus TG-5

#2.: UW housing for smartphone:

Completely agree with #2 above, and it is what I use. Far better than a TG-5 in my experience (I demo'd one and sent it back due to poor handling and IQ), and far better than GoPro's (I've had several, stopped at the Hero 5; good for video, not for stills)

In fact, the Weefine case is the same as the brand Kraken in North America. I've posted a review here https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/61994163
