Underwater Camera Housings

Can I hook my Sony DCR-HC52 up an underwater camera & record the image on my camera?

As a swim coach with the equipment (the underwater camera) I want to use my personal camera (listed above) to save the money for other, more costly equipment, but cant figure out how to do so. Does anyone know if my camera is compatible with other cameras? Do I have to switch inputs which my camera does not have?

1. I checked with IkeLite, a leading manufacturer of housings for cameras. They don't have your model listed as supported.http://www.ikelite.com/web_pages/sonylist.html That would have been your cheapest and in my opinion, most reliable option for that particular vid cam. I did find this on google http://cgi.ebay.com/UNDERWATER-CASE-FOR-SONY-DCR-HC9-DCR-HC52-DCR-HC62_W0QQitemZ220390626634QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090406?IMSfp=TL090406151009r25562 but...for a 17 foot rate...I wouldn't trust it too far. I wouldn't trust it completely at 10 feet. There are many amphibious cams out there that fit the bill at 300 bucks or so. Bonica, Sea& Sea, Sea Life to name a few. They're digital and offer video. Then again there are many Canons point and shoot with great vid capability with Canon housings for under 450 bucks all in rated to 130 feet. I don't think, properly used, they'll flood. Camera to camera transfer? Why would you do that? This is the rig I use for my diving:http://www.ikelite.com/web_two/can_a710.html One camera and housing for all. You don't need the depth rating but you get the idea.
