Ruby,
This question was asked a year or so ago on the list and one great
option was a logger from Data Flow Systems in New Zealand:
http://www.odysseydatarecording.com/odyssey_productsview.php?key=6
I purchased one and it works very well. It is submersible to
20 metres. I have taken mine to 30 metres without a problem.
The only drawback with the logger is that it floats. This means
you will need to build something to hold it down. For mine, I used
PVC piping and then attached a weight to the base.
Here is a photograph of the logger at Steve's Bommie on the GBR
showing the PVC holder and weight:
