Thanks for this info Richy! Although, I confess I'm a little intimidated by the DIY that you had to do.
Unfortunately for me, I learned long ago that adding a strobe really makes all the difference. (And I also lost my strobe in the above accident. ) So I will likely be buying the recommended strobe at the same time. Oh, this will be a painful month financially... :depressed:
And Chris - thanks for the tip! I'll check out Reef Foto, too!

The L22 in an Ikelite sounds like a fine choice. Good price and solid reliability. For an inexpensive strobe, consider the intova ISS2000, about $160 with tray and arms and cord.
[One of the most amazing stories posted here on Scubaboard concerned an L18 in an Ikelite that was lost in Aruba, and found in the Florida Keys. The housing survived and during its voyage got bit by a turtle, which somehow turned on the video so a movie was made accidentally - a hit on youtube! Eventually re-united with owner too.

I hope you don't lose your camera like that, but do have some great memories saved with it.
