I've seen many underwater digital cameras but when i google them, nothing i'm looking for ever pops up. So how exactly do you get a camera underwater without damaging it? I've also seen the method where they put it in a ziplock bag but that's seriously risky if you have an expensive camera. What to do!?
Answer
Buy a waterproof digital camera. I have the Pentax Optio W10. It's not that great of a camera, but it does shot pictures underwater and ever records video with sound underwater. It has a really good time lapse mode too.
So either get a Pentax Optio W series camera or an Olympus Stylus SW camera.

Could i take pictures under water with a digital camera this way?

If i put my regular, non waterproof camera in a ziplock bag [etc.] and put it in ANOTHER ziplock bag,
would it stay waterproof?
i know the picture or video would be blurry but would the camera have a high chance of getting damaged?
i put salt in a ziplock bag [only one] and put it in a bucket of water and it didn't get wet.
what do you think?

The safest way to go is to use OEM waterproof casings. There are alternative casings available that are sometimes a fraction of the cost but at least there is some sense of security with a brand name behind you.
That said, if none of these options are available to you and you must use a Ziplock, know the possible risk involved. You'll get people (people who respect their equipment) who tell you to buy waterproof cameras, casings, and whatnot and maybe some daredevils who tell you to go for it (people who've probably never done such a thing but would be happy to see you do it). It's ultimately your decision; no one can guarantee that it'll work.
If you're going to do it, take the necessary precautions. For example, push ALL the air out of the bags (water pressure may force the air out causing the seals to break and leak). Also, place a thin strip of brown paper or the like, whether it be towel or from a paper bag, between the first and second bag. If water leaks into the first bag it'll serve as an indicator.
For "better" results, try, if you have access to them, using condoms. It sounds silly but it works. If you're not old enough to access these, think it's gross, or don't know what they are then this paragraph and the following link do not exist... http://lifehacker.com/software/gadgets/friday-fun-waterproof-your-electronics-navy-seal+style-252183.php
