Well, I used to take my camera on every dive ... but then Cheng decided she liked my camera better than her camera ... so now SHE takes my camera on every dive ... 
I guess she's gonna need a new camera for Christmas ...

Uncle Pug:Since I started taking my little optio on dives I've taken in on every dive. It helps me see a lot more during the dive and see things after the dive that I couldn't possibly see during the dive... even using my magnifying glass.
man thats a splendid shot!

Mike Veitch:No camera, no dive. Whats the point?
true, true i guess il be taking it on every dive i just have to design a rig to keep it secure on place, when i attach it to my d rings it flops around!
Spoon:
I don't really have much of a choice but to hold the thing the whole dive. I can fold up the arms and sometimes I do clip it off to my crotch ring (ok, that didn't quite come out right) but that's usually at the end of the dive when I'm done shooting photos. It's a royal pain in the you know what to have to re-extend the arms and re-position the strobes. My rig is nearly 8 feet wide.
Thank you very much... but I really can't take much credit. I just held the camera out as close to the shrimp as I could and pushed the little button down. Some times the pictures are even in focus.Spoon:
UP - that is a lovely shot of the shrimp! BTW...which Optio do you have?
As for me, I'm in the "always" category.

A little Optio S50. It is 5 megapixel and now that I am using a RCR-V3 lithium ion battery it works pretty good. I have a bolt snap tied to it so I can clip it off to a chest d-ring when not in use... but I've found that during most of the dive I'm snapping pictures of stuff.
