I was looking at the Canon underwater cases, but was also considering the much cheaper DicaPac cases since I have to buy a whole new camera right now (trip to Kauai coming up in April). I'm thinking and underwater case would come in handy when taking macros of corals that are not near the glass and may prevent another swimming camera death!

Probably just high iso, typical with any compact, if you take slower slots with a tripod you could turn the iso down and probably reduce that quite a bit.
I wouldn't use one of those DicaPac cases except for maybe rain protection, definitely not submersible. Typically you can pick up a used G9 in good shape for $200 or less so check out kijiji or ebay. The Cannon case is only $200 so if you're planning on any diving or snorkeling then it's well worth it but if not then maybe the cheaper alternative is all you need.
