I don't think there's much difference between waterproofness in
"inexpensive" cameras Pentax/Ricoh vs Olympus. The build quality will
probably be about the same. The only actual underwater camera that I
would trust implicitly is the Nikon AW1. Then again it's almost $1000

I have the WG-3 and WG-5. Haven’t used either much underwater, but then I
haven’t been underwater that much.
If you would like to buy the WG-3 for your friend to evaluate (whatever is a
fair price) let me know. The newer models look & act pretty much the same,

Would that be any more of a problem with the Pentax compared with the

I am looking to buy a friend a waterproof camera for water sports,
including surfing, kayaking and snorkeling. Should be able to stay
watertight at least 30 feet (10 m) below the surface, but not for heavy
