dsafanda, as you've found out, strobes are expensive. Don't blame you one bit for researching before plunking down your $.
Pretty much evey strobe can be mated to a Nikonos 3 or 5 pin bulkhead, in all likelyhood what your Aquatica housing has. All you need is the appropriate sync cord, usually in the $80 range.
This I'm sure is a holdover from my days with film, but I can't ever seem to have too much strobe power. When shooting wide angle (14mm digital) I find that foreground flash that balances with background blue water (at roughly 60' with 150' of vis, sunny skies at noon) is usually half power on an Ikelite Substrobe 400. This is when at equivalent to ASA 200. In shallow water when shooting towards the surface, I often use all the power available.
Macro, which I will be the first to admit is not my usual, for me has always soaked up flash power as well. I always seem to pick those interesting critters that are in a space that restricts strobe placement. To get out to f22-32, I am usually at full power with an Ikelite Substrobe 225 at full, roughly 18 inches from the subject. Fill with an Ikelite MS50.
Since you will in all probability be stuck at manual, why not pick a predominatly manual strobe with power to spare? And most of these have "standard" TTL available, for the future, when Aquatica releases a TTL conversion board that provides a standard quench signal. These stobes are a bit less than the "digital compatable" strobes. Check ebay for "Ikelite Substrobe" and you'll be shocked at how low the prices can be, even adding in a factory overhaul.
Speaking of factory overhauls, I will add my vote to the Ikelite support kudos. Quick, and I have always recieved quality service.
As much as I wish I could give an inteligent review of the Inon strobes, which everyone seems to be talking about, I never seem to be in a place to try one.
All the best, James
