I didn't take pictures of anything through more than a few feet of water, which is what I've heard prevents it from getting colors. I picked up pretty good color. It's also not for use much below the surface. I took some really good photos with this little camera. It was difficult to point and click underwater with a snorkeling mask and currents to contend with, but considering that, it performed well.
I wouldn't recommend it. For a waterproof camera, I felt it wasn't waterproof at all and it wasn't worth the amount I spent on the camera and processing. Purchased this camera for the waterpark. The first picture was crystal clear and then the remaining pictures were all cloudy and some were barely visable.
The clear water of the Bahamas probably helped that as well. I purchased this camera after reading the reviews of it and other disposables for sale. I have 2 more to try out hope they work as well. They of course are not professional or high grade shots, be realistic with expectations please. I had my doubts about the quality of pics that it would produce or if it would even work at all. I just developed my pics and they came out better than I had anticipated.
You are better off drawing an underwater picture w/ crayons because you will get better results. my wife and i bought 3 of these cameras for our trip to St Maarten. the ones we took above water for the most part came out fine (as expected with any camera) but the underwater pics were cloudy and didnt pick up the colors of the fish/sea life we photographed.
Don't forget its great for snow skiing as well. I'll bet this could go to 50 feet in depth, but that is risking it. The manufacturer's are always conservative. Finally, a throwaway camera that CAN be used for SCUBA diving. Good product for the price. Plus the Superia X-TRA 800 35mm film is made especially for underwater light, managing the magenta and blues will be balanced, making your pictures more realistic than with regular film. 35 Feet is the perfect depth to see good underwater creatures (25 - 60 is the general range). The camera colors are perfect for easy visibility as well.
