Hi,
Havent tried it out yet, but it looks promising.
There are a variety of water-proof containers that
work with your current (late-ish model) digital
camera. I have a Canon PowerShot SD800 IS (which I
love) digital camera, and the Korean manufacturer:
DiCaPac ("digital camera pack"), makes a plastic,
velcro enclosed dry bag, with a small hard plastic
enclosed circular tube to allow the zoom lens to
extend.
Costs $35 and (so far in the sink) seems to do the
trick. Pictures don't get too noticably distorted
(though one will obviously need to forgo the flash)
shooting though the lens enclosure and it's rated for
5m, which is close to what you ask for (will be
shooting manatees and coral reefs next week).
The packs are available widely, via a Google search, I
got mine through New Egg.
Next step up (that I found for my camera) was a (what
seemed to be) well engineered plastic housing,
available through Adorama (and other major
camera\electronics online outlets) but it went for
$300+, which is more than I paid for the camera!.
Good luck.
