Hi all, bit of advice needed.
Just booked a holiday to the Seychelles in June and thought it might be fun to have a little camera to take snorkelling. A quick 'google' shows a number of waterproof cameras which are waterproof to 15m which would be plenty like the the Olympus TG‑6 which looks good but any advice on other makes that anyone has used? For video 4K possibly and decent res stills.
The TG-6 is a great underwater camera for snorkeling and freediving. Check out my (mostly) underwater photos and videos taken during snorkeling/freediving (up to 18 meters deep), using only fins, mask & snorkel (no weights and no additional light source).

And yes, camera was in automatic mode all the time!
Depending on the depth of the dive, I manually set only the appropriate WB program from the camera quick menu.
