This is just stupid. Vivitar isn't the first (by a wide margin) to offer a waterproof shooter, and they're not exactly known for their excellence in photographic equipment design, so why should anyone buy this? What's the point?
As a professional photographer I really beg to differ about your comment about Vivitar and quality equipment. I challenge you to find a professional photographer who did not use a 285 or 285 flash during the 80s, 90s, and even today with high tech digital cameras. There are still times when I need the compact power of my 285 and I don't feel like lugging around my Metz. Vivitar also had a fine line of lenses. This camera could just suprise you. For a snorkeling trip this would be a great camera. I guess the point is, not everyone wants to spend $350 and up for a digital camera for snorkeling. This is a great option.
