New Gear on the way for Future Trip

We have booked an exotic trip to Tahiti and the Society Islands.  We fly from Tampa to LAX then to Papeete, Tahiti. We will spend 3 days in Tahiti before our cruise on the Paul Gaugin ship. This is a trip that Lynn has wanted to do for he past 4 or 5 years, but it always seems like when the opportunity comes up we are headed to another corner of the world.  Honestly, I didn't really have a clue about exactly where Tahiti was before booking this trip. The Society Islands are in the South Pacific south of Hawaii and west of Easter Island. We will visit Bora Bora, Moorea and other islands.  Reading the itinerary it appears that most of our activities will be in the water. That means snorkeling.  In spite of  of taking a scuba diving class in college and growing up in the Florida Keys I haven't ever scuba dived. Snorkeling calls for an underwater camera. Since I am not skilled in underwater photography I decided to search out an inexpensive  compact camera.  My choice is an Olympus compact that is good to 33 feet underwater. More later...
