There's a couple that will work, but as noted above, they cost as much and more than your whole setup.

I just acquired a Sealife SL960 that I'm going to try out soon. It fires as a slave off the internal flash using sensors in the bottom of the housing. I cutout a piece of dark plastic to insert into the diffuser holder to block out the internal flash.

It was $159 at Diver's Direct, plus I had a $20 Rewards Certificate that I used. If it doesn't work I can always ebay it and chalk it up to experience. If it does work - even better! :)

Hey I dont want to burst your bubble, but I have tried this exact thing (have a70). Limited success.

Because film camera's need much more light to expose this flash usually overexposes anything which is close or shiny. Yet at night it was pretty effective because you wanted that extra light.

Ended up buying a d180, which is a far, far better solution.
