Define "affordable"?

FWIW, The New GoPro Session is out now, much smaller than previous GoPros and they do take a cracking good image IMO, alot of the cheaper ones only work reasonably in bright sunshine.

£40 to £80 squids

Slight budget creep, but the Garmin VIRB is now at £90 (down from £240) on Sport Pursuit.

It's also worth having a look at Techmoan.

Loads of camera reviews on there.

I've got a Virb. It's a great little camera but not exactly lightweight. I wouldn't fancy having it on my lid.

£90 ish for the entry level Go Pro

I've got 1 and its great, and cheap enough I don't worry too much about it.

What about the Replay XD 1080 mini camera?

1080 Mini Camera System

£130 - so too spendy but a good camera.

I would recommend you Drift Stealth 2. Originally it’s rather water resistant so you can use it when it rains, but if you want to dive, you just have to buy an additional case. And the device is relatively cheap and decent at the same time. More information check on their website: http://store.driftinnovation.com/drift-stealth-2.
