I have sent this a second time as I don't think it went out the first
time. Please forgive me if this is not the case

I have been using the Cannon Prime A1 underwater camera for years from
my kayak and it has worked great. It sits on  top of the kayak even
during surf landings and gets quite a trashing. This allows me to have
quick access to a camera when my SLR is buried deep inside the hatches
in dry bags. I predominantly use slides which is a good test of the
exposure and they have been very good. The only down side is the
standard 32mm lens is a bit small it would be nice to have a similar
camera that had a choice between 32 and 70. The Front cover of the
December issue of Sea kayaker was taken with this camera whilst playing
in the surf
