I'd like to suggest that the only screenshot you ship through is the crashed ship/safe shallow scene.
Beyond this, I suggest that you place a few dozen or more directional cameras in-game, directed towards interesting scenes. Any time the player swims near one of these, the game takes a picture from the perspective of the camera. That picture would then be the one displayed next time the player goes to the main menu (or the game restarts).
To embellish, you could have one picture associated with each save game. A number of games, notably HL2, do this - and its a cool way to remind the player where they were at.
