Good Points
It was waterproof, and didn't leak down to 3-4m. It could also be used as a traditional compact camera.
Bad Points
Out of 3x36 exposure films used, a total of 69 photographs were available from the developer. The camera often would not take a photograph when the shutter was pressed.
Of the 69 photographs all but about 3 were unusable - the colour underwater was appalling, and the flash didn't seem to work properly. The photographs were blurred as though there was a slow shutter speed. This was even obvious on a beach shot in early afternoon in Egypt!
General Comments
The Sea Life Shark Diver SL 300 was a waste of money sadly, and a disappointment since the holiday was a once-in-a-lifetime one, and photos of dolphins, clown fish, parrot fish and puffer fish were all wasted and lost. An expensive waste I'm afraid.
