Recomendation for (casual) snorkeling

Hello everyone, first post on the sub(just found it today as well).

I am planning a trip that includes a lot of snorkeling. Basically every time me and my wife go on vacations the "beach" time is filled with snorkeling, we choose hotels/resorts based on this.

Despite our enjoyment we don't take it too seriously, we just wander around with a simple snorkeling mask+tube and spend hours a day seeing the marine life.

The past holidays we used plastic amazon bags and filmed with our phones... In the maldives... I promised myself I would not repeat this mistake again so I am looking for a proper action camera . This is what I am looking for:

Price:

Ideal : <300 euros

Accceptable : < 450 (only if very worth it)

Goal: taking videos underwater (1-5m depth)

Desirables:

Ease of use(both hardware and software)

No/low need of buying separate apparel

This last point specifically is important to me, I want to upgrade my snorkeling experience but it is not something I do multiple times a year, I would just love something ready to use that fills my needs.

I have obviously seem the discurse between gopro and DJI but I have no prior experiencr with any action camera so I am open to all suggestions

Thank you very much for your time :)
