Best Underwater Camera Please??

Purpose: To video swimmers underwater for instruction. I have purchased a Panasonic DMC tS2 and think who ever designed the logic of the buttons must be of another species. The video jerks when there zooming when watching. (might be a frames per second thing) and makes a mechanical noise. I'd like to have a camera that: 1) I can put a polarizer filter on to cut surface glare. 2) Easy to use. 3) waterproof 4) Can drop on deck. I'd like to hear what you are using and what you think. thanks!

    We use the Pentax Optio W80. It works great, and allows you to shoot at a relatively high frames/second rate. It was on sale recently at Amazon for $142, probably because the only color they had was black and orange.
