Meikon, Sony A7II and Godox off-camera flash

Hi, guys!

I am thinking of buying an underwater housing for my Sony A7II. I am not a diver and I would use this gear mainly in the swimming pools or somewhere in the shallows near the shore when at the seaside.

One of my requirements though is that I want to use my Godox flash as an external light source. I am under the water, but the flash is located on the ground - just outside the swimming pool or I will have an assistant which will hold the flash over the water when taking pictures at the seaside.

I came across the Meikon housing and it fits my budget. Unfortunately I cannot understand if it is possible to use fiber optics with Meikon housing to trigger an off-camera flash. I googled it, read several articles and forum threads but I couldn't find the answer. It seems that very few people use this setup.

Any ideas? Is it possible to trigger a flash, located on the ground, while being under the water with the Meikon housing for Sony A7II?
