trying to outfit my canon g12 camera for underwater photography?
I currently have the g12 with the canon underwater housing, and i would rather not spend 1000 bucks on getting an ikelight housing. However i was wondering can i still some how purchase an external strobe and possibly wide angle lens to use in the cannon housing?

The Canon brand underwater housing is not exactly optimized for diving like the Ikelite. I have a Canon housing for my G10, but my main use is for kayaking.
Anyway, there is no outlet for external strobes. There is a clip-on diffuser for the camera flash, with a leash to help prevent loss. The housing and camera has a positive buoyancy (fine for boating), so for diving you would need to buy the optional weight set. (You don’t want to be fighting the buoyancy.) I doubt that the housing has room for an auxiliary wide angle lens. The 28mm (135 equivalent) zoom of the G12 lens should be plenty wide.
