There are now dive masks available for purchase that have built in cameras that take either digital photo or movie clips. I was just amazed to see these.

Another item I saw in use was the gopro movie camera while snorkeling. These are tiny little things. http://gopro.com/products/
The snorkeler I saw using the gopro had it mounted on a monopod and he was snorkeling at the surface. He would extend the camera into the water and he would extend the monopod to whatever depth he could or needed.
Really quite an innovative way to film into the crevasse's of coral where fish like to hide.
I am not affiliated with either of these 2 companies. I just have a lot of "I want one of those" feelings for them.
