You can either carry around a bulky waterproof case for your digital camera, or you can go naked instead with the indestructible Olympus Stylus 1030 SW. Allow us to recommend our weapon of choice.

This dandy 10-megapixel shooter was tailor-made for all your summer adventures, whether they take you scuba diving in Palau or no further than the pool at the Dallas Four Seasons.

Thanks to its system of seals and gaskets, the Stylus is waterproof up to 33 feet. Four underwater-scene modes help you get the best shot every time, and you can even record movies underwater (albeit at a poky 15 frames per second).
