If you want to use a camera underwater I had great success with the little Sony RX100. I got a Meike underwater case for it and it did not leak. It was easy to use and control. Its tiny and lightweight but phenomenal IQ and sound quality.
I got many great underwater shots with it.
The key is in the processing of the shots. You need to use the eyedropper tool to set the colour temperature on a whitish point in the image. Then the excessive blue corrects and the colours become more natural and you can process the image.
The little Sony has excellent video and a zoom lens that you can control underwater. I really liked it.
On Ebay a 2nd hand Sony RX100 would not cost a lot, perhaps $450 or less.
