1st - No.... Canon OEM casing can't accept UWA without mod.

2nd - Casing can be Mod by some shop, example - "http://www.scubacam.com.sg/"

3rd - Won't be cheap.... and might not work due to the OEM casing.... you'll need to talk to the people of ScubaCam.

4th - Thats why some ppl are willing to pay $800+SGD for Ikelite casing.....

Expect to pay about $80-$100 for an adaptor for the canon housing. A dedicated u/w WA wet lens will then cost another $400+ at least. Not sure how much advantage the WA lens will give you as the G series of cameras usually will have some vignetting when used together with a WA wet lens. Zoom in and you might lose the 'advantage' the WA lens will give you.
Some food for thought.
