What type of diopter are you looking at? I have a G11 in a Canon housing and my next purchase is going to be a diopter, but I am not sure what type is best suited for my setup. I looked at BlueWater Photo and Backscatter, but I don't know enough about them to make a choice yet.

I'm not extremely knowledgeable on diopters but for the type of super macro shots I want to take, the subsee magnifier looks like a good option. I'm still split between the +10 or +5 power though. From what I've read the +5 is more versatile and can take a larger variety of shots. But for those really tiny critters, like some of the pin sized nudibranchs on the Marineland platform, I think the +10 will be needed. This is the setup I was thinking:
Diopter:ReefNet Inc. | SubSee Magnifier and Adapter
Adapter for housing:Ikelite 67mm Macro Lens Adapter for 3.9" Ports 9306.82 B&H
 
I saw the SubSee as I was doing some research. I also was looking at the Dyron +7 67mm macro lens. It is kind of in between the two SubSee versions. Dyron makes an adaptor for my Canon housing too.
