"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,
