My TG6 side door has broken since last summer and service in my country seems to be quite slow and possibly also expensive. I am thinking of various options:

1) Get a new/used TG6 ... cost~ 400E

2) Get an underwater housing for my RX100VI. Sensor is larger but underwater focal length will be less wide since with the TG6 I was also using the wide extender allowing me to create more interesting shots (in my eyes )

3) Get an underwater bag for one of my ILC cameras. Not to fond of that solution as I am afraid of water leakage.

Camera use is mainly for snorkeling, here are some samples:

What do you think?

I would not consider option 3)...

Option 1) in case you were satisfied with TG-6...

Option 2) in case you want better IQ and manual operation (but you need to buy a WA wetlens)...
