If you already own an underwater camera I can't imagine not bringing it! My daughter took dive lessons and the instructor took photos of her with his "professional" UW camera and the pics are teriffic. We went through 2 of those silly disposable cameras. If you are a big snorkeler definately bring it.

It doesn't sound as if you have an underwater camera already, and if not, by all means bring one of the disposables. The picture quality is decent and you'll enjoy these memories for years to come. We used them in Cayman and St. John with good results. We didn't have one for Maui, and the snorkeling was deeper water so less light--not sure how they would have ocme out, but it's surely worth a try.

I've been very happy with the disposables, and it save you lugging a heavy "real" underwater camera, and/or worrying about someone stealing it.
The main thing to remember is to get up close to your subject, and try to take photos where it isn't too dark or murky.
We've had better luck with the Kodak than with the Fuji.

I agree, the underwater disposable cameras work great for everyday travelers. We have an underwater camera which takes great pictures, but I have had friends that have been on the same trip with us that have used diposable camera & their pictures turned out almost as well. Although we were practically in clear bath water in Tahiti. good visibility & sun will help- definitely worth the chance as nothing to lose. Have fun
