I remember vaguely that housings were made for different SLRs. I don't
remember the company (could be Ikelite), but couldn't afford one when they
were around. They had controls from the outside for the shutter speed, and
wind lever, but I don't know if one was made for the OM as it has an
uncommon placement for the shutter speed. It would be easier to use on
auto mode with a moderate wide-angle lens stopped down. It is almost
always necessary to use flash to get a good color balance, even in
relatively shallow water. Of course, the viewfinder is not used, and a
large viewfinder is attached on top. I'm probably telling you nothing new.
