underwater MP3

Hey all,

I would love an underwater MP3 player - I think it will help to bring my heart rate down on breathe-up and when surfacing. I've googled and there are heaps to choose from, but very few talk about depths etc. so questions...

Are there any that could go deep (30 - 50 metres)?
If not what is the max depth a player is capable of?
Can they be covered by insurance?
I read something about jaw vibrations being better to hear the sound - what is sound quality generally like?
Is there a certain earpiece design which will be better for equalizing?

Ok. think that's enough !
Cheers all.

Re: underwater MP3

That Oceanic is an H20 Audio case. It holds an iRiver MP3 player iirc. I have an H20 Aduio case for my Nano, but it is a swimming case that only goes to 10ft. I believe that case linked above is the only deep water case they make. But you might be able to buy H20's new earphones to use in that case, but that might cause problems. The new earphones work kind of like ear plugs, not good for diving. H2O Audio -- Waterproof Your iPod

So maybe an iPod case attached to your float and remove the ear buds before your descent?

Good luck.
