I am looking for a housing for a Coolpix 5400 in good shape. Any out there?

Richard,
How do you find the Nikon 5400 as an underwater camera?
I suspect that you dive in cold water in BC just like we do in the Great Lakes. Do you find the battery life acceptable for your diving? The problem I have with my current underwater camera is that a fully charged battery dies before I get to depth. Would a similar problem occur with the Nikon?
I still have the Sea & Sea housing and am still debating whether to purchase a used Nikon 5400 camera or not. Any insights would be great.

I am using Lithium batteries in this camera. Additionally, I turn the camera on when I'm in the water on the surface. I have found that should it get turned on on the boat, the battery life is significantly less.
When the original batteries developed this short life problem, I replaced them with new ones from the internet. Same problem. After talking with the factory rep about this issue, the camera manufacturer has replaced the batteries. Same problem.
Because there is little good to say about this camera, I will not state the model or manufacturer.
Do you know if a Nikon coolpix 5400 is significantly negatively affected by cold water?
