I'm in the market for a waterproof camera. i'm usually paddle boardind or kayaking, so I don't want to be worried about getting it wet. I'm between the Ricoh WG-70 ($250) and the Olympus TG-6 (Which is a lot more expensive). any recommendations ? any other camera sugestion ?

Very late response, but I'm very fond of my old Olympus TG-860 .

Why? Features. IQ is lousy, but flip-up screen and ultrawide zoom is a win.

I wish people would push for these features. They're especially useful in a camera that isn't primarily used underwater, but at/near the surface.
