I have been shooting for 3 or 4 years now with a Canon SD1100 & WP-DC22 housing. While I've captured some memorable moments, the overall image quality leaves much to be desired. Even with photoshop trickery, after about 40ft there's not a whole lot that can be done.

My main above water camera is a Canon 550d (Rebel T2i). I love this camera. And I would love to start shooting underwater with it as well. However, at this point, I just don't have the budget to do it right. So, is there anywhere reliable from which I could rent a 550d Housing for various week long trips? I haven't had much luck just searching. I have the 550d body, a 50 1.4 prime lens, the kits lens, and a Tamron 18-250 lens. Not sure if any of those would be appropriate. Most of what I've read seems to talk about much different wide angle lenses. So I would need the housing, possibly a lens, and a strobe (that maybe could double as a video light). A tall order, I know. But where better to ask?

I'm Invading Coz in June with ScubaBoard. I'd love to capture something at higher quality than my trusty sd1100 can provide.

Thanks!
