So I'm starting to get interested in cave/cavern diving photography.
I have a relatively old Canon Powershot A40 in a Canon WP-DC200s waterproof case that works okay in ambient light, but I get slaughtered by backscatter in the caves/caverns when the flash is required to see anything besides my dive buddy's light. I realize I probably need an external flash...
Can anyone recommend something not too expensive to rig to this setup (possibly < $400?). This A40 camera seems to blur a lot of images underwater despite working well on the surface, so if I like the underwater photography more, I may graduate to something better - in which case a light that might also be compatible with something "better" (at least for a little while!) would also be nice.
Thanks for any advice.
