There is nothing wrong with a TG-5. AT ALL. Buy yourself a backscatter M52 wide angle lens, learn the camera and you can take amazing photos. 
Sure, you don't have a manual mode, but if you're snorkelling or "swimming" you can use the aperture priority mode and even hitting f/9 you should have more than enough light for the shutter speed to keep images sharp enough. 
This is a very expensive game. You're almost always better off investing the minimum and learning to use your equipment and the available light properly, as opposed to buying gear in the hope of chasing better shots.
