Underwater Camera?

Does anyone know of a good inexpensive HD underwater camera? I have a underwater camera case for the Canon 5d but would rather get a camera that can just go underwater. I have two short scenes coming up that are underwater shots.
 
Gopro? Shoot on the narrow setting and you can avoid the fisheye look.

What specific features will you need? 60p? Full Manual Control?

The GoPro Hero 4 Black will shoot 1080p at up to 120fps. You can shoot in a cropped mode which gives a medium/wide FOV - maybe equivalent to about a 35mm of FF but I've never done a side by side comparison to figure it out.

If you just need it for a few select underwater shots it should do the job just fine.
 
I have a xiaomi yi, with the underwater case. Very nice little camera, similar to a gopro but cheaper. Just make sure the case is well closed and won't open with a small accidental hit to the top lever (mine needed some adjustment on the metal piece there).

Quick test form the weekend I got it, last summer :)
