Nice to look at but obviously has many disadvantages.
The main disadvantage is that you never actually see what you are capturing. If you speak with a photographer about it he will be extremely disappointed. It is very difficult to take a picture underwater, due to hand shake, colours are lost, exposure, whitebalance. You need to continuosly view what you did in the previous pic and correct. That is why proferssionals go underwater with large bulky cameras.
I have spent a week in egypt, and took hundreds of pics to get a couple right. How could you ever get a pic. right without viewing and possibly correcting.
On the other hand it might be a bit comfortable not to hold anythig and for random video capturing, but you have to expect a very poor video.

I know something similar is used for divers that work underwater so that people on top can monitor their work.
