Intrinsically safe means a device is safe to use in hazardous areas that may contain fuel in the atmosphere, such as flammable gasses or vapors, or combustible dust.
An intrinsically safe device is therefore incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal energy to ignite the fuel and cause fire or explosion.
So technically waterproof does not necessarily mean it is intrinsically safe. always be sure to read the specification of a device before purchasing to save you time in the long run..

A waterproof camera is like a submarine. The manufacturers do all they can to make sure it can sustain water pressure at certain specified depth. But if there's any problem with the battery/memory doors, the camera will be ruined instantly.
Because of this, you should always check the depth rating of a waterproof camera and make sure you never go beyond the specified limit.
There have been one occasion where an Olympus mju 720SW was found to be working even after 1 year submerged in bottom of the ocean.
If you're interested in a waterproof camera, the best waterproof camera for 2011 is the Panasonic TS3. It won the prestigious TIPA award in April.

What is a top of the line waterproof digital camera?
Most of the high-end waterproof digital cameras are extremely expensive and are only useful for taking pictures underwater, meaning they aren't very useful for any other application such as normal picture taking. The cheaper waterproof digital cameras are more in-line with regular digital camera costs but do not produce very clear images. There are waterproof enclosures for almost all normal cameras which allow them to be used underwater and this has two benefits. The first is that you can use an existing camera you already own allowing for a wider range of uses, and the second is that the waterproof enclosures are much cheaper than an entirely new camera. As a SCUBA diver I have seen waterproof digital cameras fail several times from seals which had a slight leak and I personally use an enclosure for my camera for both reliability and even if there is a small leak, they are designed to allow water to pool in the bottom preventing it from damaging the camera.
