The camera's so old it's going to be hard to find one. Especially since it never really was that popular. One option would be to contact fantasea and see if they can take it in for maintenance.
If you really want to find a new housing for it, Ikelite also produced one (the 6182.50) as did FIX (the NP5100 IIRC). Both are long discontinued but you might have some luck. Reef sold both of these, maybe they still have one laying around someplace or could help locate one.

Check that the shutter button isn't sticking and has proper clearance. I had sticking problems, sent in under warranty. It came back with a small chunk of 'some crap' obviously deliberately stuck to it that created pressure on the shutter and screwed it up. Removed it and it works fine now.
If you have a sticking button a tiny dab of silicone grease applied with a toothpick tip on the inside of the shaft and worked up and down will generally free it up. If you are adverterous the buttons are not hard to remove, clean, and replace. Just be VERY VERY careful with the C-clip. They are easy to lose.
