I used to use disposable cameras, but you have to get real close to the subject if it is to look life size. This is near impossible for wild life shots and not to comfortable for the animal. After being frustrated with 35mm lenses I brought a Pentax 105WR after seeing it recommended on both paddlewise and rec.boat.paddle.touring last year. Costly but worth every cent ($550.00NZ). Classed as weather resistant, it has regularly survived being full immersed ( in fact I dip it in the water before taking a photo to remove dried salt on the lens). Haven't worked out why you need 5 flash settings though!
