Re: Snorkeling trip to Galapagos: Sony FDR-X3000 or Olympus TG5/6?

If you aren't going to have some dives in before your trip to learn how to use the gear, I would NOT get anything like a dive housing for a big camera with strobes. Keep it small and simple.  You don't want to be trying to learn anything about a camera in a place like that, which as has been said in this thread is a challenging place to dive, and snorkeling is generally more work than diving.

Perhaps this $299 housing for a smart phone?
