These were shot at the GBR with my old optio 330 and the matching Pentax housing OW-P1 or something (good for 130ft - recreational limits)

The housing cost about $200 3 years ago a little less than the camera.

Canon make a housing for just about every digi P&S they have. Pentax has a few as well and some of the Optios even have a UW mode (adds red, removes blue). I know olympus makes housings for many of their cameras.

Ikelite is a great source www.ikelite.com as well for housing and strobes. Everything from digi P&S to multiple strobe TTL SLR housings.

The other choice if she has a digi P&S already and there is not a housing for it is the "zip-lock bags" from http://www.ewa-marine.de/english/index.htm

B&H have most of the Canon, Pentax and Oly housings as well as the ikelite and EWA stuff.

A friend of mine is on the lookout for a digital underwater camera for scuba diving. The equipment should meet IPX8 (40 meters depth) standards.
Any ideas on whats out there that's decent?
Thanks
