Looking around, I found this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=AIIHUPKC8K4HS

I don't anticipate to be going below 90 ft... so 90 ft max..
Almost all under water housings can go well over 90 feet.

A review you may like:

I personally recommend Olympus cases. They are very well made and priced. They are coming out with one of the first ring flashes for point and shoot camera in November, which will really help with macro shots.

IMO the housings Canon makes a poor quality. I wouldn't trust an expensive camera in one. If you want a Canon, there are plenty of other options available, such as Ikelite, Sea and Sea, Aquatica, Nauticam etc.

Re: insurance - I've never heard of a recreational diver with dive insurance. I don't think it's necessary.
