Great shots! My wife is going to be mad, I saw a tarantula in the back garden at Park Royal and for the whole two weeks she searched: nothing. She will love that shot of yours. Thanks for putting the shots up. kev

Thanks to everyone for the comments & kudos.

In the interest of saving money, I tried to do as much myself as possible- designed & built/bought the tray & arm parts, boiught an older strobe on Craigs List, and used an HW adapter to convert the camera flash to strobe TTL.
Total $$ was about $300 for the strobe addition shown.

Camera: Canon A720IS, Housing: Canon WP-DC16, Strobe: Sea & Sea YS-90TTL w/ Nikonos cable, HW Digital Adapter, Fantasea Nano Focus Light, Arm/Tray Parts/Material: McMaster Carr

I put some pic's of the setup in this gallery;
