Underwater Camera Housings

I'm camera shopping. What is your advice?

I have a 8.3mp Fujifilm camera with 3x zoom. It's a good camera, but it's bout an inch thick (I can't fit it in my pocket) and I can't find any underwater housing for it. I would like to get a new, more portable camera with more zoom and higher resolution, but i'm not sure if I need one. I was going to buy an underwater camera originally, but during the summer I spend a LOT of time at the beach, in pools, etc. and I've read reviews about the cameras leaking after a lot of time in the water. So, I'm wondering if a new camera is worth the investment, and if you know of any really reliable underwater cameras, or camera housings that are cheap. Thanks!!!

1. there really aren't any underwater housings that are cheap. if you enjoy taking pictures at night, a sony cybershot is a good choice. personally, i have a casio exilim. they made 2 housings for them: one that is up to 40 meters underwater and is $199 and one that goes up to 3 meters under and is 99 dollars. however to my knowledge the casio exilim cameras are discontinued and i assume along with all other casing. good luck searching!
