I have two suggestions.  One is a good used Nikonos.  I've been using a IV for years, and I really like it.  Because it's a wide angle, it's almost autofocus ;-)  Rugged as all get out.

The other is a Pentax IQ-Zoom 90 WR-Data (WR for Water Resistant).  I am VERY pleased with the optical performance (and the rest of the performance for that matter) of this $250 P&S camera.  It is very rugged.
