I have an old W10 or20 that spent an overnight in the back of my baot in a pool of water completely submerged for 14 or so hours. Pulled it out the next day and worked fine.
They are bomb proof little cameras but due to the waterproofing they will never have the quallity of shot some are looking for. They newer pentaxes are a little better.
The best thing you can do is try and just fit your subject itn the frame without having to zoom. That will give you the clearest pics without looking grainy.
