I think for what you want, look at the micro 4/3 world. Small housings, small lenses, etc. The backscatter octopus housing is $2500 for camera/housing/lens/ports and a single strobe with arms. (From Mozaik). You would need to get a true macro lens ($300) and you will be good to go.
A TG/6/7 will get you small subject capabilities (but small sensor and no control to speak of ).
The whole thing underwater will/can be virtually weightless.
You will also need a focus light ($200 or so). $3000 is certainly doable with good quality. More $ mean more better quality.
