gobofraggle,

If you don't need anything for deeper than 5m, the Olympus Tough TG-630 is pretty good and has half decent image quality. If you need something deeper (up to 12m), the Pentax Optio WG-2 isn't too bad. I have one for work but take it with me on my travels for snorkelling and shallow diving and it's not too bad. Noise performance isn't great (many compacts aren't), but it's functional and within your budget if you need something to go deeper.

The WG-2 is a bit more portable although it can't do 86m like the SeaPro housing can!!
