What are the types of underwater cameras?

Underwater Photography Gaining as a Dive Hobby

Underwater photography used to be the domain of professionals. Now it's a favorite hobby for many divers. Divers have a few choices in camera type:

There are disposable underwater cameras that get the job done, if you want to show friends and family what you did on vacation. Just point and shoot.
A second choice is housing a land camera. Some divers prefer this method for the wider choice of cameras and lenses. But the housing can be awkward to handle.
The popular choice is the amphibious camera. There are several brand-name digital cameras -- Nikonos, Sea & Sea and SeaLife. Canon and Olympus also get wet with their versions of underwater cameras.
