The TG-6 is rated for 45 meters (147 feet) and the OP is snorkeling - if he is going deeper than that while holding his breath, then I'm impressed! Even the Gopro8 is rated at a depth of 33 feet, more than enough for snorkeling without a dedicated housing.

If we were talking about high-end scuba rigs, then it would be a different discussion. I'm just saying that given how much I rely on my phone, I would not want to take it underwater on vacation and risk a housing failure

TG-6 is rated for 45 feet, not meters, and again, its waterproofing even within that envelope is pretty flimsy.
