Re: A6000, what else do I need to start?

Depends on what you like to take pictures off and where you are (what the water conditions are).

I have the salted a6xxx Housing and use it together with flat port + short macro flatport. I usually use the 30mm Macro or the SEL1650pz and might try it with the 24mm Zeiss on my next vacation. In addition I used a Inon flash.

I was actually thinking about the same combination of the Sigma 16mm and the dome port, but decided against it. And got myself a light and filter for fluoro diving.

Tl/dr: Seafrog housing is stellar, everything else comes down to conditions and what you prefer.

30mm Macro, this is how I usually use it, as a Closeup, not a Macro

30mm Macro plus flash, 16mm would have worked here also I guess.
