Some housing info that I know of... but don't have experience yet.

EWA-Marine offer cheap, soft solutions.  Many of the "experts" I've
spoken to won't touch them though as they've either heard horror stories
or had them themselves.  Horror being wet cameras.

quote from an experienced Australian underwater photog friend: "Housings
are not cheap and are often more expensive than the camera's.  Aquatech
are pretty good.  However it probably wouldn't hurt you to give the guys
at Dive 2000 in Sydney a call.  They specialise in underwater
photography, housings etc.  It could also be worth having a chat with
David Hill at Sea optics in South Australia. 08 8363 3277 or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or have a look at WWW.seaoptics.com.au.  Most people
I know get their gear from Sea Optics.  They are extremely good."

Another award winning underwater specialist friend also suggests: 

"Check out the ikelite range and see if there is a housing to suit -
www.ikelite.com and they are distributed in Australia by Tony Chandler
at www.capebyronimports.com.au.

Also the Subal range of housings may include one for you're model and
they are sold in Aust by the guys at www.seaoptics.com.au but both the
housing and the guys there are at the high end of the market.

Also I'm pretty sure that www.seaandsea.com make housings for Canons but
not sure about you're model and they are handles in Aust by the guys at
www.aquanaut.com.au

The EWA-Marine bags are supposedly pretty good but I just can't get my
head around putting an expensive SLR in a plastic bag !

A good place to look for housings to match your camera is at
www.digideep.com and for general chat at www.wetpixel.com but it is
almost entirely SCUBA related although it's a nice bunch of people on
the forums."

Hope this helps.  If the visibility is good I may see you under the
water some time :-)

regards,
Michael.
