While I like Oly cameras, I don't think too much of their housings. While Ikelite housings are a little more money, you get your money's worth. They are tougher, you can go deeper, you can get better strobes that use TTL, and they are not as prone to user errors as the Oly equip. Since I own both, I can speak from experience.

Without the strobes/arms, you're looking at ~$6,000. Add in a couple of Ikelite DS-125's, chargers, and ULCS tray/arms...~ $9K. Of course you will want a Storm Case, lens covers, memory storage cards, laptop computer or digital jukebox...

Underwater photography is like a boat...a hole in which to throw money!

Believe me, I know the prices. If it weren't so damned expensive, I'd have the setup already. On the other hand, I'd save a bit because I own some of the lenses I've stated for my dryland Oly dSLR(E500).
