Can I buy a hull, good for 100m depth ? Where from ?

Hello,
I have spent the last weeks researching about ROVs.
It seems that I could do with controlling the motors via joysticks (Im a programmer and have already made a demo with an Arduino).
I can also do away with the thrusters, either using brushless motors or buying the T-100's.
My problem is that I do not know how to construct a hull. I decided to not build this myself, as it is
a crucial component and the one that most of all needs to be reliable.
What I need is a "cylinder" that is accessible inside and also provides a solution for holes for the cables.
As mentioned, target depth is about 100m.
For example, I have tried to find commercial camera housings, but have failed. Im sure I have seen those
before, so I will continue looking.
But in any case, can someone give me some hint about some makers of "hulls" ? Plexiglass camera housings, for example,
would be fine. Or it could be metal, with a "window" that screws on with bolts around it.
Thanks in advance,
Dimitris
