I found some but these are called "housing for Canon M" so I got confused.
 
I don't know of one, Meikon would be your best bet. There are a bunch of housings for the M2 and M3 but not for the M100 as far as I know

Thank you.
 
I just bought a Canon M100 for myself. I wanted the APS-C 24MP sensor and DPAF focus but will only use it for surface shooting. It's nice and small with the included 15-45mm IS kit lens.

I also got the EF-M - EF / EF-S adapter for a paltry extra $50.00 along with one spare Canon LP-E12 battery. I'll rent or borrow Canon SLR lenses if I want to explore varying types of shots.

The M100 will be my land travel camera. I wrestled with buying a SLR or M6 Canon Mirrorless too. But size, cost and weight won out for me choosing the M100.

UW I'm more than happy with my Canon G7X II / Fantasea housing and Inon S2000 strobes (full disclosure I'm a Fantasea and Ikelite dealer and have used both brands for decades.)

Too many years of hauling SLR systems, larger lenses and pushing large systems through the water made me choose a compact option and I haven't regretted it. A new 27" Retina iMac enhances what I want to do with my images these days.

I've printed big prints in my current "style" (canvas, more art than standard UW pics) up to 2' X 3' and they look great. I expect surface shots from the larger sensor M100 will look fabulous too.

Right now the only EF-M lens I'm considering is the fast stubby Canon EF-M 22mm F2 lens. More a photojournalist style lens it gets great reviews and is small enough to justify owning.

Your Mileage May Vary :)

Meikon doesn't currently offer a housing for M100 - you can try writing them an email asking if they have any plans to do so; they generally respond to inquiries.

You can also look at Easydive - they claim their housings are universal (they use electronic control over the camera functions rather than mechanical linkage to camera buttons and knobs), but unfortunately they're also eye-wateringly expensive.
 
I wonder why Canon has no housing of their own for M100? Normally, they cover all their cameras.

They will often cover many of their point & shoot cameras, but once you start getting into the ILCs (as @dhaas noted) or their DSLRs, they don't.

Try contacting Mozaik and speak with Ran or Tal. They will be not only happy to help, but will also be able to offer other options that might meet your needs.
 
I finally chose A6000 last summer, so it is too late for me. But thank you anyway.
