We are going on a snorkle trip when we go to Maui. Looking for a good but cheap underwater throwaway camera. Last time I tried this...the photos were eh...so-so. Colors weren't as good, etc.
Here are the cameras used last time

and I think this one

Features:

Stocked with Kodak MAX Versatility Plus 800 Film
Single-use camera
Waterproof up to 50 feet
Shock-proof rubber shell
Scratch-resistant lens




Here is an example:

Auto level, contrast and color, with a little bit of work in Curves:

So, I'm looking at some other cameras...

This model seems decent

But what film speed should work best? Any tips on a good one?
