We have the Sea and Sea DX90 that we use with our 5060. We also use the sync cord in order to have it fire at any angle. Be sure to set your camera on the slow sync2 setting so that your strobe fires at the correct time. To make sure you are in sync, hook your sync cord to your camera housing and take a picture of your strobe. If you see the flash in your image, you should be in business. For a cheaper option you can get the SeaLife digital strobe for about $270.

I second Alcina's choice - the DS 125 has a built in aiming / focus light which will help with the poor low light focusing ability of the 5060 . You will get TTL with your setup and do not need to bother with a manual controller unless you want to . The strobe should also fire in super macro mode without using slave mode . You can double check this with Ryan .I realise that this is the expensive route , but you will only buy once .Plus Ikelite backup is great .
I really wish that I had gone the Ikelite route ............
