The Olympus Tough TG-6 is a great little camera for snorkeling and other outdoor activites. For scuba diving extra accessories are needed (underwater housing, strobes, etc.).
The camera offers some improvements over the TG-5 (higher resolution lcd, improved macro modes, white balance modes) but not enough to justify the jump if you already own the previous model. It is an interesting upgrade for owners of earlier models (TG-1,2,3) especially for those interested in 4K video capabilities.
Biggest issues (common to nearly all similar cameras):
- small sensor (noisy images if not in very bright lighting conditions)
- no fully manual controls
TG-6 'must-have' accessory: Olympus CSCH-127 Silicone Jacket, to protect the camera from inevitable scratches.
