Get nice Canon compact camera like:

£125 Canon IXUS 275 HS

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-IXUS-Comp...LPH+350+HS

£110 Canon PowerShot SX610 HS

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-SX610-Pow...t+SX610+HS

£220 Canon PowerShot SX620 HS

and a £25 underwater case:

Honestly 20 megapixel Canon PowerShot SX610 HS will be more than enough for the purpose. Its cheap now beacuse there is a new 620 model anounced. Means you save £100. Buy Canon PowerShot SX610 HS for £110 + £25 = £135

You have £170 left for gear and beer. Problem solved
