Oh, sorry) I bought two waterproof disposable cameras for snorkling. (Not realizing you can now rent a digital dive camera...) We got the film developed at the local K Mart, and the guy at the counter warned us not to expect much. He said that the market for film, as opposed to digital, is so small now that no one is putting anything resembling decent film into disposable cameras. (The dive cameras we got were 800 ASA.) Disposable cameras have never been the greatest, of course, but these produced some crap photos, and Mr. K Mart Photo Counter said that's to be expected. When we were in Kona last year (mmmm, Kona….
