Photo equipment for Australia Expedition?


I'm planning on traveling to Australia this summer with National Geographic as part of one of their high school expeditions and I'm looking for advice on gear. My main struggle is there is such a diverse amount of work I'd like to accomplish which requires lots of different gear and I don't want to overpack or take on too much. I want to shoot Underwater photos, Wide angle/scenery, Astrophotography, and Good photos of the animals. We are going to be going all over from snorkeling in the great barrier reef to Sydney and the zoo there to the rainforest and camping in the outback. They recommended we bring some all-inclusive style lenses aka telephoto but I value a good depth of field and don't want my photos to look like some average tourists. I've been into photography for a year and a half and have a nikon d800 with a 50mm 1.4, 90mm 2.8, and 28-300mm telephoto. Personally I enjoy portraits so I use my 50 a lot but they advised against bringing many fixed lenses as the weight builds up. Overall what are your thoughts? I've been looking into the 24-70 and 70-200 2.8 vr ii lenses but they're quite expensive and I don't want to spend all my money on the wrong gear. Also for underwater pics I'm torn between buying housing (I'm looking at meikon but they don't have any extra ports for the d800 housing so I'd be stuck with a 35mm if I buy one) or buying a low cost waterproof point and shoot. Any advice helps, thanks!
