Bill Tuthill's list (http://creekin.net/cameras.htm) contains a couple of digital cameras.
Most digital cameras achieve waterproof status by being encased in a housing.
The Sony DSC-P5, for example, has a housing that is about US$250.  It seems
like a decent camera.  I'd prefer a hard housing to a soft case that some might 
recommend.

There are a couple of weather resistant digital cameras, but nothing as good as 
the dunkable Pentax that I've seen.  

We haven't got anything like a Nikonos Digital yet... hopefully that'll come soon.
