Disposable Underwater Cameras

Having good underwater equipment is a must for good photos, as I recently was reminded.  Here is the product of a disposable underwater camera:

It’s been a while since I needed a disposable camera, let alone an underwater camera, but it was a good reminder that good equipment is necessary to take a good photo.

And not having any control over what the camera does is a weird feeling, as even with point and shoot compact cameras I usually change some of the controls, and can see what will be in focus…

These photos almost look like ISO3200, and desaturated to add ‘mood’.  I don’t really mind them, but they’re not what I was going for.  Here’s one that looks like a brain:

Not being that familiar with underwater camera gear, the disposable camera is all I’m familiar with.  Can anyone suggest something else, that doesn’t require selling my first born?
