This guy had a lot of faith in his ability to stay hidden:

Thanks Barb and Ed.

Here's the tray and lights I just acquired. The tray uses a standard mounting screw for the Gopro housing, but can adapt to any housing. I will diving the G10 tomorrow and testing the lights for photos. There's plenty of light for macro use. Also, an advantage for me is that one on my DIY dive lights uses a C cell maglite and the clamps will fit that light if I ever need it.
