For starters, although I enjoy a nice photo like the next guy, I am not an avid photographer that would carry the camera in his hands for the whole dive. I think I will usually want to carry my camera clipped on my rig and only take it out occasionally to snap a photo.
The TG-5 and its Olympus housing seem perfect for that purpose: Compact, capable and reasonably priced. And I saw a neoprene pouch to give it extra protection and clip it to me when not in use.
But lighting is necessary, and all of the rigs I saw make it so bulky that I can't imagine a good way to carry it hands-free without banging it against the bottom.
Can anyone make recommendations for a compact lighting rig and pouch or other protection so that I can carry it all clipped to me?
Or is the camera's built-in flash/light sufficient for my purposes? (I doubt it but I might as well ask you pros)
