the problem you have is disposables are designed for pools really, they have depth ratings from 3m up to 25m some of them but if its ur first time u wont go any futher than a max of 20m the problem you have is the lack of light at that depth so if you do take one try and use it where there is plenty of light or you will be wasting film.
you can get expensive underwater ones the place you are diving wid may rent them out or your instructor may take one with him if you ask.

I’ve tried those disposable cameras before, the quality is not so satisfying. I’ve used my friend’s underwater digital camera before too, I’m not sure is it we didn’t turn on the flash or what, the picture quality is just blue and grey, it’s not the colourful pics we saw normally. So you better check it out and do a better setting on your camera.

a disposable camera will not give you pictures you will be happy with. out of 36 shots, you may or may not get one or two which are decent.
if you already have a digital camera, it might do you good to check if the manufacturor makes an underwater casing for your particular camera, they are not cheap but most are within reasonable price. make sure though that the casing can withstand pressure to high depths, a five meeter one might be cheap but will rewen both you camera and your mood if you are going diving. most casings that are designed for diving will go as deep as 40 meeters “120 feet +” .
it might be also a good idea to check with the dive shop you will be diving with, most will rent digital underwater cameras for reasonable prices or even have an instructor or dive master take photos for you.
as for the photos coming out mostly blue and grey, the reason is that colors will go away the deeper you decend. the first color to go is red so at normal diving depths photos will lack red coloration, to solve this, you will need an underwater color filter which is a redish lens that you attach to the cameras lens to conpensate for the color loss, they cost arround 26 to 50 dollars us.
best fishes.

This may sound harsh, but my advice is to concentrate on the diving and leave the photography to someone else. The best photographs are obtained by professionals with expensive, specialized equipment. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you may luck out with a good frame or two, but that will be the exception. The time you spend fiddling with a camera will take away from the time you could be looking around and discovering what is around you. Don’t limit your experience of Hawaii to the narrow scope of a viewfinder!

if you already have a digital camera now adays they make covers for them so they are able to go underwater so just get one of those instead

underwater disposable cameras are useless. try looking through that mini viewfinder with yr mask on…by the time u focus on the fish, it would have swam away. get a digital camera to take pictures or dun take at all. you just need to buy the underwater casing for your existing digital camera and viola! you have a camera that is as good as the pros!
