Check around for unit that has a sensor that covers the area where the built
in flash is that will trigger the main flash.  There's no guarantee there's
one for your housing, but there's usually some way to hook up a strobe to
cameras for which a housing is available.  You might ask Ikelite.  They're
pretty consumer oriented and probably keep track of such things.
