I don't remember exactly, but aquapacks are used for shooting while snorkeling, and diving requires more serious equipment protection - aquaboxes.
The cost of introductory diving is $45 for one dive and $65 for two dives in one day. If you have a certificate, then you need to negotiate at the diving center.

When diving, you will not be able to use the package. We'll have to fork out for a native aquabox to the device.

for another time, underwater cameras, one-time ones, will also go (if this is not a diver, although duffers do not ask such questions). there are many one-time =) but they have a diving depth of no more than 5 meters. or use the boxes listed by papa74 . or buy native to the model of your camera. they can usually dive with it at 40 m.

Do not buy one-time film cameras!
I checked them on personal experience and coolly broke off my buzz - I shot a bunch of beauties, but it turned out to be complete crap. Photos are unnatural, very pale colors, if the picture was taken not from 30 cm, but from 2-10 meters. They do not convey the beauty that you are trying to capture. In addition, when photographing, it is very inconvenient to use them - you don’t see the result, and besides, you look through a narrow window, which is not very convenient in conditions of water and waves, and even in a mask.
Therefore, my advice - if you don't want to spend a lot of money on your native aquabox, but still want to try your hand at underwater photography - buy an aquapack from papa74 listed. You won't be able to dive with them, but even floating on the surface will make much better photos than with a disposable soap dish. As an example, you can see my photos taken for the first time in my life here:

And for those who don’t open the link, you can see a review about Marsa Alam in my profile, there is also posted a little bit, but much less.
True, although I shot for the first time, I immediately looked at them on a laptop and corrected them in Photoshop.

For a long time there are packages (polymer) with which you can dive to 10,20 or 50 meters!!!

Yes, there are a lot of worries with film cameras. Although I remember the surprise of my friends who looked at the photos. So I shot 7-8 films somewhere, and the first ones were just good, but the last ones, as Dreamer_0x01 wrote.

Looked. It's cool, but the prices are close to the prices for native aquaboxes. True, not all cameras can be found on sale aquabox, for example, on mine.
And you yourself have not experienced such cases yet, how are your impressions?

I saw reviews with "photos in polyethylene". The quality (Canon 400D + 50mm (it seems f1.8) + Ewa-Marine) is GOOD.
I haven’t matured for this myself. The habit of working with my own (G10 + native DC-WP28) does not yet give pluses in favor of “falling” to the eye of a masked DSLR. Although I started moving in this direction (500D).

I can recommend the author of the question, if he has a digital compact, to buy a plastic bag in Egypt. I won’t say anything about the quality .... But the price since December 2009 ($15) has increased to $22-25 (May 2010).
Instead of glass on the lens, there is the same polyethylene, its optical properties are doubtful (you can look through it during inspection-purchase), but for the first time it’s a very good option.
They sell (White Knight store, near SOHO street, opposite Sunrise) an underwater digital camera (such as Canon, Olik, Pentax amphibians), only made in China. The main feature is in the transparent case and the beauty of microcircuits, boards and matrix. I’ll say, but the view is super. The price tag is about $ 100-150 (I don’t remember exactly).

ALL stores sell aquapacks, with the exception of pharmacies and greengrocers. Ask, bargain. Don't buy right away. In Naama, the minimum price is about $ 15, in the Old Market - I don’t know.

-----------
Photos were taken through a bag "DicaPac".
The camera is an ordinary digital compact, of the "expensive" parameters there is only a good matrix size - 1 / 1.6 ".
Bought three years ago for 10 pieces.
The camera is: Fujifilm FinePix F31fd.
It’s a pity that you can’t find an aquabox for it anymore, that’s why I had to buy an aquapack.
Naturally, the photos are not posted "as is", in the original they are somewhat faded, the spectrum of red color has been slightly corrected in Photoshop to return the photos to natural shades, such as they really were. The laptop I took with me helped me a lot in this - on the same day as I was shooting, I looked through everything, I ruled until the eye remembered what the natural shades were and adjusted to them, and also made conclusions, which shooting gives the best pictures, and which worst. I'm not a specialist in photography, just an amateur, I didn't do anything super complicated.
By the way, in Egypt I would not have found such a case for the camera.
And we have a lot of them for sale, you can try them on and there is plenty to choose from, it cost 1200 rubles, so it’s better not to hope that it will be there and it will fit, but to buy houses in advance.

You can post a link where you can see photos taken by canon 400D + Ewa-Marine. My wife and I were ripe for the purchase of a canon + Ewa-Marine U-A DSLR.

Although you could choose a cheaper option:

the difference compared to Ewa-Marine is $200. But for some reason I doubted the aquapack, I'm afraid that my future DSLR will not be covered during the first dive. Maybe someone can clear my doubts.

Folks, there's something I don't understand. Even if the soft package does not depressurize at such a depth, it is soft, and will put pressure on all the details of the camera. It's like putting the apparatus under the press.
Will it survive?

Here is the photo! Cool! Now it’s clear that Ewa-marine is what I need, I’m not going to dive deep, so it will do, well, maybe I’ll take a couple of cargoes with me so that the package can be at least a little drowned. Now there is a question with a choice of the camera. Take canon 450D or canon 500D? As I understand it, the Kit lens will not work when immersed, the aperture will not be enough to capture all the beauty. Although the EF 50 mm f1.4 lens costs money!

1) Since the density of water is higher than the density of air, you need to adjust the camera under water for instant shooting, otherwise nothing will come of it. .But my soap dish cannot shoot in this mode, and I just put my mobile phone (Sony-eric. K 790) into the package - I was quite pleased with the quality of a good soap dish.
