Music While Diving

That's cool WarrenZ...I love the galloping horse sounds. Even better maybe the Jaws attack sound.

I think many people enjoy the peace and quiet of being underwater, being close to nature and hearing the natural sounds of the reef. Personally I think I'd prefer to keep it that way myself, but I understand why it may be nice for some divers to have music (e.g. for deco).

There are underwater earphones on the market designed for long distance swimmers, however I don't know how robust these would be under pressure. There's also the question of what is supplying the music, as many waterproof earphones connect to a device via Bluetooth, however this would not work at depth. Newly invented cochlea earless earphones vibrate and transmit sound via bone conduction, therefore removing the need for earphones and potential equalisation/trapped air problems (Audio Bone 1.0 - Audio Bone Headphones). Maybe this will be the future?

This is what use: H2O Audio Dvi700 Underwater Mp3 Housing
Light weight, easy to use, around 40 hours of battery life and good to 300 feet.

It was the future in about 1980.

I eat food and drink underwater (on deco) BUT I wouldn't want to listen to music - gotta listen for those dang boats.
