Default Camera for snorkeling or scuba diving

Hi guys,

Scuba will be less than 10M.

Looking for a cam for my kid. Not going to use very often. hence, super low budget say under $250 (incl all necessary accessories). Any suggestion ?

Saw Valore but not sure good or not or which model to get.

Olympus TG4 or TG5. TG 4 is older model so should be cheaper. These two water proof models do not need underwater housing for snorkeling.

I seen someone used a iPhone waterproof housing for underwater photography. He took it down to about 20 meters. Not sure where to get that housing or if there is such housing for other hp

Thanks for the input.

Preferably not phone + case combo but I am considering cam + case.

Did anyone try Valore cam?
