I had missed the focus stacking. Not going to happen.
Technically it's possible with an Olympus camera, static or slow-moving subject, and either continuous lights or fast-recycling strobes. You have in-camera focus bracketing, so you don't need a rail - a tripod is enough, and doing it handheld might be possible. @bvanant did some testing with it underwater and got encouraging results; you can see it here: Bracketing with macro

I did not read that thread as being positive toward the focus stacking, especially in places I dive that do not allow tripods or other attached-to-the-bottom devices. I wish it were otherwise...
 
Not all of his images are FS and I am going to give it a go. I have a 1.4x and only ext tubes and extension to Oly port.
Static images is not an issue as most nudi's and other macro stuff don't move that fast. I would love a shot of the bumblebee shrimp or a skeleton shrimp at this level of magnification.
