For those that want to take it deeper than 100ft, is there a housing for it (or coming out)?

 

[JackConnick]

No, not at this time.

Here's an Olympus TG-Tracker video produced by Olympus Malaysia of cave diving in the Yucatan. Very nice footage. Voiceover is in Japanese, but it's subtitled. Really shows how the data logging feature is useful while diving.

What are the two round glass parts at the front of it? I assume one is the lens but not sure of what the other is. Also, what is the rectangular part in the second picture on the lens?

100 ft is pretty good, you can see your shot, beats Go Pro

The top is a rather weak light, good as a flashlight, but not much use underwater.

The square filter is a flat port so that you can focus it underwater.

One point is that the UW white balance is a dynamic setting, it will adjust itself to whatever the light is doing, ie you do not need external red filters for different depths, do manual white balance to the camera and readjust, etc. In fact, just leaving it set on Auto, the camera automatically switches to UW white balance when submerged lower than 20". Pretty cool.

Nice! Logging the depth at which video was shot is a nice touch; wish all the digital cameras could do that with stills today.
