Sealife micro 3.0 or Nikon cool pix w300

to be used for snorkeling in the reefs in South Pacific? haven’t read a lot, but what I’ve read suggests that sealife is the underwater camera to have. But is the nikon as good if I’m only going snorkeling and not going deep? And can also be maybe a better all purpose one camera too?

thanks for your thoughts.

Sealife manufactures some good press (most media only prints positive reviews), but they are a midtier offering at best.

But stills while snorkeling are challenging for most to get good results.   Most are far better off shooting video with the gopro type cams.

I would put the TG6 as the best jack of all trades choice if you got to have a true camera.   I don't see that Nikon very often (and the last one I retrieved from the bottom, flooded), and only see the Sealife when people shopped at their dive shop.
