hi i'd like to know a few things bout using a digicam underwater

1: is it possible to attach a strobe or 2 to the underwater casing of a digital compact camera?

2:is it possible to attach lenses such as a 16mm lens to the camera in anyway?


in other words, must i die die get a SLR/DSLR/nikonos or other underwater camera if i wanna get a decent shot with proper colours?

Yes up to about 200 using optical sensors

Yes, there are Wet Lenses (macro n Wide) available if your housing can support, usually 3rd party housing like Ikelite have a 67mm thread for add on lenses
