Cheap camera & housing for GWS at Guadalupe.

I am looking at a cheap camera and housing for shooting pics of great white sharks at Guadalupe next October.

It will be a back up/2nd rig on top of my Sony HC9 video camera/housing.

I am looking at a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX5 and Ikelite housing.

I am wondering would a flash/light be any good?

Most shots will be at only 1-2 metres with some down to 7-10 metres.

Would 2 be better than 1?

Any other tips/info?

Also, does anyone know how many photos you could take with this camera before the battery would be low?

I'd taken about 180 shots and a few minutes of Full-HD video with one charge. In a battery duration test, I recorded 38 minutes of continuous Full-HD video before exhausting the battery.
