I have a Nikon D80 and am interested in any opinions on any of the available underwater housings for this camera.

Also, what other accessories would be required when using an underwater housing like this? It looks like a lens port and separate flash would be required at minimum.

Your best bet is to contact Ikelite in Indianapolis to see if they make a housing for your particular camera. www.ikelite.com The real key to underwater photography is the lighting. You will need a strobe and a good one is not cheap. Ikelite DS 125 is a very good strobe. It cost close to $1000 as I recall.
