I'll be shooting it in Caribbean water conditions. Does anyone have any comment on this housing? On how well the internal flash works in these conditions? How safe is the camera etc...

Went diving with it for the first time a few weeks ago in Grand Cayman, did about 15 dives total. Housing works great, esp for the price. It's the second Canon camera I have in a Canon housing (other is a SD500). Not sure what your experience level is underwater, but just take the normal precautions with the housing.

The diffuser should help somewhat. I just posted up some pix today: https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=350580 I'm not terribly experienced in underwater photography but reasonably experienced in diving. I will be using this for pictures during snorkeling for picts below and above the water in the Caribbean. Lighting should be decent in both without a flash, I would think. Obsessive Gear List
