Low Cost Underwater Housing for CoolPix 880?

Does anyone know if a low cost underwater housing is available for the Coolpix 880?

I am thinking about something along the lines of the USD 200 housings that Olympus makes for the 20x0/30x0/40x0 (and for their other cameras), and the one that Sony makes for their DSC-P1.

These are all very effective, working well up to 30m (100 ft).

Nikon doesn't provide anything, do they?

hummm, sorry to say that "low cost" and "underwater" can't exist in the same sentence (grin) I say this as a diver who's owned a Nikon F, housing and flash system and several Nikonos 111's

Ikelite (brace yourself) have a housing for your camera at $750 plus flash and accessories. http://www.ikelite.com/web_pages/coolpix880.html

Try the site called http://www.wetpixel.com/ you'll get some good info there. Maybe even something "preowned".

Shame the EWA maring bags are only rate to 10 metres, it would be an less expensive alternative.

I am searching for the underwater housing for 885, found one(model# D-MM) from Ewa-Marine that might work. Problem is that I can not find a place that sells this on or off line. I just wish Nikon brings its brand of underwater housing like Olympus and Sony do.
