Probably cheaper to buy a GoPro Hero4+ You'll get great video and excellent stills without the bulk and risk..

I am fairly certain there are none on the market. You are likely to have to have one customer built and likely to cost over £1000.
Steve's idea of a GoPro 4 is a pretty good one - ok to 40m but limited to a 14mm lens
You may want to check out some of the packages here link
Or - if you do not intend going deep - consider a decent waterproof compact - some of which are waterproof to 50ft depth

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

Ricoh also make action cameras, plus of course the WG range of "adventure proof" compacts!

Have a look at http://digital-photography-school.com/dicapac-wp-s10-underwater-housing-review/
I don't know if it will fit a k3 though.
Personally I'd go with a Ricoh WG-30 or a similar waterproof compact from another manufacturer, rather than risk getting water in my K-3 (if I had one :lol.

As far as the lens on the GoPro is concerned, remember that under water it will be tighter than 14mm
