I suppose the availiblity of cheap housings is also an important factor here
The Sony RX100 should be on your radar as well due to there being a fantastic housing you can buy for about $160 for it. You can get the camera for around $300 as well, so that is under $500 total.
Very good video, 28-100 range, 1" sensor with 20meg resolution for pretty good IQ. No EVF/OVF, however the "white magic" LCD is the easiest to view outdoors of any LCD I've owned.
Have to remember as well that when in a water housing, you can't really use most VF's too well anyways, and most composition is done via the LCD. After all, what point is a VF when you've got a diving mask on is likely the designers thoughts.
