  1. 790€ is actually not a bad deal for an underwater housing depth rated to -60m, especially if that includes a port for the 14-45mm lens — though I’d prefer it with a dome for the coming 8mm!

  2. There’s also an E-P1 underwater housing that we at PiratePro are designing that takes advantage of the MFT format to allow photographers to use Nikonos water-contact lenses designed for the Nikonos rangefinder cameras (we selected the E-P1 for the in-camera stabilization for supermacro photos). Here are some links to reviews of our proof-of-concept prototype:
