sure. But I want some experience first

This experience would be much easier and less expensive to acquire on an entry-level system such as a TG-6.

I agree that’s one style. I think initially would be more focused on shooting sideways, this is also a challenge. In general, everything would be easier if you did not have to look through the viewfinder or lcd screen, having it on top or at a distance would be much better.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'shooting sideways' but external monitors for underwater housings do exist; they're commonly used by videographers, but some people use them for photography as well. Some are dedicated underwater units, others are housings for above-water external recorders such as Atomos Ninja series.
