I don't know about online, but if you look in used bookstores or a library, you can often find older (1960's-1970's) books on underwater photography that discuss this in detail. Modern underwater photography books have alot of pretty pictures, but don't seem to go beyond pointing the camera in the right direction and pressing the button. I have a big collection of older books that go into detail about how to make underwater housings from various materials, machine control rods, wire up flash guns, etc. There are quite a few of these books around and they can be quite interesting (and sometimes amusing).
