I have TG-7 with OM System PT-059 Underwater Housing. I've been diving with Sea&Sea YS-03 Solis Lighting Package. It's been fine for macro and close range photos.

Now I am planning dives in Africa to see some sharks. Obviously my current system is not well set for such photography. I'm thinking of buying Sea&Sea YS-D3 DUO to extend my capabilities. I think in general I'll be mostly shooting macro and close range photos, but at least in dry land photography more lights give more flexibility so I assume using two flashes is better than one. Would it make sense to set both flashes to a rig, or just use D3 DUO and keep the YS-03 Solis as an emergency backup in my bag? I'm planning to get a snoot with D3 for macro when using just a single flash.

I'm a complete beginner with trays and arms. If using both flashes is the way to go, what kind of tray and arms is recommended? There's an aluminum tray & ball arm set available with D3, would that work? And then an extension plate to attach YS-03 with my current flexible arm? Or some other arm would be better?

I tried searching existing threads but couldn't find information. Does someone have advice or can point me to the right direction for further reading?
