Ultimate Setup? Can't Post

I'm interested in diving into underwater video. If that was all I was going to use the equipment for it wouldn't be so difficult. However, I also want to use my rig for wild caving & cavern diving (crawling around in the dark through rocks, dirt, mud & water). For still photography, my peers use slave strobes, etc. I am keenly interested in the PC330. Does anyone know of a setup of housing/lights/still strobe/batterypacks/case up to this kind of abuse. It appears as if the Amphibico setup allows the use of a dedicated strobe, but I'm too ignorant to understand for sure. Obviously, I'm looking for durable yet flexible equipment. It must:
function well in the brightness of full sunshine;
function well in total darkness to shoot objects up to 100' away with only it's own lights for both still and video;
withstand being hauled/dragged around in a cave for hours at a time;
and last quite a while on one charge/tape/memory stick.
Any ideas????????
