which waterproof bag for m50 or m100 say 6m max

I wanted to do some snorkling photography its fun and I want to get into it. I have both an m50 and m100 and looked into cases ikelite and frog somethings prices are like 900cad they were 250 for the m5 anyway, I decided on bags for the price and I wont be going deep enough for those cases yet anyway. So I was watching some reviews on youtube and they all seem to be to scared to do anything other than dip their bag in the water. So my question is What bags have you been snrokling with and how did it go? especially with these two cams. I would dive just holding my breath.

I have used my M5 + 22mm underwater for snorkelling with a DicaPac WP-S3 bag (I think it cost me about AU$70 a few years ago). It works OK, didn't leak, but it is pretty clumsy to use. It also holds a fair bit of air so it becomes a flotation device, which is not ideal if you want to dive down a couple of metres.

I would guess that this bag would work with either M50 or M100, though there may be smaller bags that you could use with a little M100.
