Hi,

I have the G-Flash strobe that I purchased for my Canon
Powershot A80 with the Canon underwater enclosure (no
flash ports for outside the case) that I bought from
Smile Photo www.smilephotovideo.com for $169 + shipping
that works really well with my canon underwater. The
review of the flash can be found at:

It comes with a solid 8" arm that allows the camera to mount
to your underwater enclosure. It doesn't have a fiber optic
cable for trigger but instead triggers to your camera's pre-
flash or can trigger with the flash (mine works on pre-flash
with the Powershot). Anyway, the price is 1/2 of what I've
found from Sea N Sea and Ikelight and I haven't had any
problems with it in the ocean (took it to Key West a week or
so ago trying it out).
