SKY-5 Optical slave trigger for Canon G series

I have been trying to figure out a good way to add extra light to underwater photos in a dark indoor pool with my G9 in an enclosure and it sounds like the Seagull SKY-5 optical slave trigger might be a good option. It is described on this page:
http://dpanswers.com/content/optical_flash.php

Has anyone used this, or something similar that will ignore an E-TTL pre-flash? My plan is to use a trigger on a flash in a Pelican case or waterproof bag from a distance of 2-3 feet from the flash, so hopefully the on-camera flash won't scatter too much to trip the slave.
