I want an amazing underwater digital camera!?

Last year I had a Pentax Optio underwater digital camera. (I forget which model.) The picture quality was decent. (although far from what I expected.) And I loved having a camera that I could take out into the water!

Unfortunately, I stayed out a little too long (45 minutes instead of the recommended 30) and it became waterlogged and ruined.

I would like to get a new camera soon. Preferably around $200 but I could probably go up to 300 if the quality is high enough and it has a good warranty. ... Do any camera experts have good recommendations?

Thanks for the comments so far. Here's a little more info on exactly what I need:

I almost always have my 5 yr old with me, so there is little chance of the camera ever going more than 5-10 feet deep in the water.

I love taking pictures of stuff in the distance. (a turtle's head poking above the water, someone on a boat, kids playing on the beach, etc...) Many waterproof cameras don't really have the zoom I am looking for.

You should check out the Olympus line of shock & water proof digital cameras:

some models are waterproof for up to 33-ft.

Check out SeaLife, pretty good cameras and will go to higher capabilities if you choose to get in to diving

Look at the Olympus Stylus SW series of cameras. Shock-proof & water-proof.

My friend has an Olympus underwater camera that she loves. Sorry I'm not sure of the model....
