Hi,
I'm currently using a small Canon SD880 in Canon housing as my UW camera. I got the housing since it wasn't too expensive, especially compared to the housings for my D200. It's good for souvenirs but it doesn't take pictures that are that great, and I think it's mostly due to the fact that without strobes ....
... so I'm wondering if there's any way to get some external strobes for a camera like that? Or am i doomed to upgrade? Are there any good small/powerful wide angle lights that I could put on arms and use to add light in those scenes? (maybe with a homemade diffuser) I guess real strobes wouldn't work since there's no hardware in the camera to sync with external strobes.

- It often use long exposure times, so I get a lot of blurry pictures (they look great on the camera display, not so much when shown full size)
- Everything is blue or green after 15', that's expected but unfortunate
