I just got this for Christmas and I don't understand how the sync cord attaches to my Olympus PT047 Housing. I am so confused. Please send me links of pictures or something. I am trying to dive this afternoon and want to use it.

The flash will be trigged by in-camera flash. you have to use fiber optic attach to camera housing flash port and flash slave hole.
 
I don't know about your model housing but mine(Olympus) came with an attachmentt that had the holes in it for the cable conector that slide over the diffuser. From looking at your photo it appears you don't have a built on diffuser so you will have to use the mask set, which should have came with the strobe. The mask set should be a square piece of velcro type material. One side will paste onto the housing whick should cover the flash and the other will hold the connector of the cable. I know I didn't describe it very well but I believe you can figure it out, good luck. Oh, and once again, this is ONLY if you want to shot in slave mode, which with the Fantasea line strobe, you wont have to. If this happens to be an Intova strobe I am fairly certain it operates the same as the Fantasea Line.

This is the one to fit your housing

This is for the housing to strobe connection( if so chosen).

This one should have came with the strobe, the plug end for the hole in the strobe and the white square at the other end is an attachment that sticks to the outside of the covering on the flash( once again, if choosing to shot in slave mode).

And this is an example of the mask set to which I referred.
And once again, all this is only necessary if choosing to shot in slave mode, the Nano will shoot without it by picking up on the built in flash of the camera. All this can be found on B&HPhoto.com or any other supplier. On the B&H site it is all under "Power and Connections".
