I made an adapter to use the Fantasea FWAL-02 wide angle with the subcompact Fuji housings. The FWAL-02 fixes two problems I have with the Fuji F31 fd, namely soft image sharpness at the edges underwater (not topside), and the lack of a wide angle. I made the adapter by hacksawing off the 37 mm threads from a 37-46 mm step up ring, sanding the back flat, and drilling holes to match the existing holes in the Fuji housing. The manufacture of the adapter, and some sample images are shown below. The Fuji and the Fantasea make an excellent combo. Edge sharpness is improved. An external strobe was used.
