There are quite a few options, several of which you should be able to
easily find locally.

Sealtite is one brand of armored flexible conduit, it's a spiral steel
conduit with a PVC jacket so it's both armored and waterproof. Used on
power drops to outdoor A/C compressors among other things and readily
found at home improvement stores.

Another type is a flexible steel conduit they I've typically heard
referred to as "Greenfield", probably a manufacturer reference. This
type is not waterproof (no jacket) and looks just like the BX type wire
except that it is empty so you pull your own wire through it. It is more
flexible than the Sealtite type conduit. You may be able to find this
one at home improvement type places, if not and electrical supply house
will have it.

An electrical supply house will also be able to get the many other types
of flexible armored conduit, but many will be special order.
