TTL stobe & compact camera help/recommendation

[blahblahblah]

Hello,

I'm looking to purchase a new camera/housing/strobe setup. I want to use a TTL setup on a compact camera which will do double duty as my only camera on vacations. I've searched extensively on the web and I've come up with the following setup:

Nikon CoolPix P5000 - 10MP, offers manual settings, and TTL exposure in a compact size
Fantasea FP 5000 - Seems to be the only housing available
Sea & Sea YS-110 - It looks like a good strobe from a good mfg.

My newbie questions:
1) Are there any other cameras I should consider which offer TTL exposure, compact size, good 8+MP, & manual settings.
2) Can anyone confirm this camera's TTL function will work using the S&S YS-110
3) Are there any other housings available or is there a direct conections option for camera/strobe (instead of fiber optic)

Thank you.
