Something you wish you would have packed?

I have used them before as well and never had any issues. The pics are def not the same quality as a digital camera but they are tons of fun and you get really good silly fun pics if you travel a lot or think you would get good use of it, i invested a few years ago in an underwater digital camera...its takes video and everything. It was only $200 and i use it all the time on all my trips

I actually purchased a waterproof digital camera last year for about $100 (they were having a sale on the less desirable colors!).  Here is a link to the options at Best Buy:

If you find one you like, search for it on ebay and you will likely find it cheaper.  One recommendation is to buy a wrist-strap for your camera that floats, so if you drop the camera it won't sink out of sight.....

We bought an Olympus Tough (with a floating strap!) and love to take it out snorkelling...I think they're around $150 now.  I have never really been happy with the quality of the indoor pictures it takes, but for outdoors and underwater, it's been fun.  Some examples...
