I wonder since coolpix 990, 880 and 995 can be set to use manual focus [990 and
995 can be set to use with only one hand to operate the focusing] with focus
confirmation is it possible to do this with the camera inside the housing?

Just for curiousity I had been to Aquarama 2001 in Singapore and see that now
there is albino red shiner avaliable [probably from Taiwan].

p.s. thanks to one who answered my medication question.
