After the caving trip I bought a new camera for the muddy and the wet times.

Cheap and cheerful Vivitar 5188 5 MP camera with underwater housing for
AUD$129.

Basic flash, all controls through sealed case, 15 metre depth (sure, right,
ok), takes SD cards.

But can you change the cards underwater... That's the question of the day!

The question should be can you change the batteries under water, they will
run out long before the 1Gb card runs out. Only uses a couple of AAA
batteries.

Truth to tell I can't hold my breath that long anyway.

I have seen a film change underwater with a Nikonos V
