You are asking for everything without realizing that there are compromises to be made.
I assume you have very clear water, otherwise wide angle won't be of much use.
For wide angle you might want to look at a Tokina 10-17 lens but you will need a dome. And to get your desired macro effect you will need to get very close to your subject.
For macro? get a macro lens. For your camera Nikon has 4 choices. 40mm, 60mm, 80mm, 105mm All are good lens. You will need a suitable port. The longer the lens the less need to get close to get the image you want but you get less of a wide angle for non close up photos.Where I dive the water is reasonably clear, at times. I use a D7000 and a Nikon 18-55 lens. Somewhat wide angle when used with a dome port, sort of close up when zoomed out to 55, and its a reasonable compromise lens. Sometimes I have used my old 55 Micro Nikkor, manual focus for close ups. But of course that is when I see an opportunity for a wider angle lens.

You are right of course....but let me try to explain better my questionfirst of all I am already working in the same concept you describe...the "Interchangeable" way, with the Sony A6000 and 90mm macro (fantastic!) lens , and 10-18 wide angel lens. both are sony.I like this set up very much!but I don't have fisheye...with SonySo I decided to add Nikon D7200 = only because of the tokina 10-17 fisheye lens.( My housing let me use 2 cameras or more)I am new to nikon, and don't know about setup options ....I don't need macro lens or wide angel lens or fisheye lens. I already use themI simply looking for as much as possiable flexiable lens...to try and see what are the possibilitiesTHANKS

Tokina 10-17 for wide
Sigma 17-70 for general purpose--a compromise between macro and wide
Nikon 60 for macro--great but short focusing distance
Nikon 105--best for macro
Will need appropriate ports, domes and extention tubes.
