At long last I got to take the digital elph (S400) into the water. It was less than great, but I got a couple of okay shots. It turns out it wasn't such a nice day for snorkeling, there was a lot of "stuff" in the water which made visibility low and there was a pretty good wind which made keeping the camera steady nearly impossible. The sun was out, which was good, but it also made the lcd on the camera tough to see. I tried to take some photos of fish, which was pretty difficult and instead decided to try to get some images of "still" stuff to see how they turned out. Follow the link to see the photos...
Here is me testing the camera in the sink :)
Here is a saddle wrasse (they are everywhere) and some kind of tang?
Some relatively colorless fish (for HI) which is a bit funny for me, coming from MN where all the fish are very similar in shape and color to one another.
Self portrait after accepting this would be much more difficult than expect.
Here is a sea urchin, it took a few passes in the current to get a decent shot of something that was not moving.

Seeing those pictures made me smile. Oh, how I wish we were there. The house looks beautiful. Will you take some pictures of the inside? Love you both, Raquel

Great first photos. I particularly liked the "colorless Minnesota big fish in the sink."
Glad you are having a good time!
Earl
