Lens, Light, or should I just dive with the new Housing

Hey I just bought the canon hv40 and I put my order in for the ike housing for it. Now my questions is should I buy the wide angle adapter or a light for it, I can't afford the $800 one so I would have to go with the cheaper ike wide angle, Or should I buy the 300 dollar single light? Or should I just dive with the housing and white balence at depth? I"m going to Utilla and Roatan in April. So any suggestions would be great.

Hi there.

Congrats on you little setup.

I would suggest you go for a wide angle first before a light.

Put a URPRO filter on it and while balance at depth to get nice colors if you can.

It will make you shots much better, then move onto a light later.

Hey I was wondering do you put the filter on the camera or the housing, Probably the wide angle lens if I get that, do you know anyone using the w20 ike wide angle or do you have any recomendations for a wide angle, I want to stay in the $300 dollar range. thanks for any help, also what settings would you suggest for a newb.

Removable External UR/Pro Filter

Or you could probably fit a magic filter in front of the camera lens inside the housing.
