Anyone dive with a TG-1? How is it setup? I have one we used before getting into diving and now would like to get the housing for diving. Can I use other lenses as well? Will I need an external flash/strobe?
 
Don't own one yet, but I've done ton of research... yes you can use 2 lenses, fish eye which will give wider angler and a telephoto that'll increase zoom. these lenses also work with the underwater case and be swapped while underwater. You'll need a ring adapter, some retailers do include it as part of a kit.

I'd go with just the fish eye lens, it'll give super wide view underwater. Amazon.com: Olympus Fisheye Tough Lens Pack (lens and adapter) for TG-1 and TG-2 Cameras (Black with Red Adapter): OLYMPUS: Camera & Photo

It does have 4 presets for UW use, have you checked them out? Manual should say when to use each setting and what it'll do.

As for external flash or strobe, that would depend in which waters and visibility.
 
Yes you will need a strobe for most of you pics or learn to stay in the three foot range and get good at using the zoom. I tried an old strobe on my last trip and on the few pics where the strobe worked came out good.
