Question GoPro, Waterproof Camera or Waterproof Case?

I'm going to Grand Cayman on a driving trip for 10 days. I have never photographed underwater with anything but a waterproof disposable. I'm debating a waterproof case for my camera, or just the purchase of a waterproof camera. I shoot with a Nikon D2x and would most likely be using my Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 if I go that route.

Options...

1) Sell my GoPro Hero Cam HD and purchase a GoPro Hero2 HD. Now offering 11 Megapixel's - My price would be around $180.

2) Purchase a waterproof case for my D2x - My price would be around $1000-$5000 ( YIKES!)

3) Purchase a waterproof P&S camera $200-$900

I love using my DSLR but I'm thinking the cost effective purchase would be a GoPro Hero2 HD cam. I use my Hero1 all the time. Anyone want to buy the Hero1? lol...

Just curious what you all have used and what kind of results you have had. Thanks!
