For those of you who are not professionals,but only picture takers for fun and memories, what types of underwater cameras do you use? I am not looking to get into photograpy but would like to take some occassional underwater pictures just for fun and am wondering what works for people.

[Choose #2] Two GoPro’s as of this writting. I really like one mounted on an extending pole so I may stop using the head mounted GoPro in the near future.
