Evolt E-500 - Housing?

[BHB ScubaTroll]

Just bought my NEWEST of 3 Olympus cameras, and I am looking for a decent housing and add-on suggestions.

Here is the base:

1. Olympus EVOLT E-500 Digital SLR Camera
2. Zuiko 14-45mm f3.5-5.6 EZ Digital Zoom Lens
3. Zuiko 40-150mm f/3.5-4.5 Digital Zoom Lens
4. Hitachi 3GB Microdrive
5. Spare Rechargeable BLM-1 Li-ion Battery

Housing suggestions?
Strobes?
Lenses?

Tips, tricks... Poor-house referrals? :14:

You'll enjoy the 40-150 on land, not sure if there are any ports available for it for UW though.

Oly currently does not have a housing available for it. Ikelite might, if not, they can make a 'custom' one - or perhaps they could use your camera as a base for a production model housing?

Did you intend on using this camera UW when you bought it? Why not spend a bit more and pick up the E330? Its basically the same camera, with a large LCD EVF which would be ideal for UW usage. Oly even has UW housing and ports available for this camera already.

Ikelite has a E-500 housing.

Thanks RocketMan,
I have 3 sites in my Favorites right now.

Once I feel I have enough time on land with this camera... I will be purchasing an Ikelite housing
