Anyone seen underwater walkman for sale?? I had the pleasure of trying one out once and quite enjoyed it. I also would be interested if you have specs on how to make one.

I have a link around here somewhere for an underwater walkman, but I can't seem to find it right now. However, I don't think it would be too tough to build. You would need an underwater canister like what they use for lights and a waterproof fitting for the headphone cord. I would guess that the earbud type headphones would work the best since they would go inside your hood.

Here (http://insel.heim.at/malediven/350052/english.htm) is the link for a do-it-yourself site that shows how to build a number of things including canister lights. Good luck.

You need waterproof headphones. The water can actually leak down the wire of non waterproof headphones and ruin the walkman and the headphones.

The head phones I belive I should be able to buy from a company that sells underwater metal detectors. Can anybody confirm that??

Unless you're doing boring stuff like cleaning the bottom of boats in a marina, why would you want to listen to music underwater?

:confused:

I can just picture Uncle Pug relaxing to some Enya while zipping along on the scooter...!

:jester:

Suppose it would be okay for anyone doing long deco stops...

I had found the one on diver discount but that was 500 bucks US and I am from Canada. Not quite looking at spending 1000 dollars on a walkman!!

I did say it was pricey. I think I'll enjoy the sounds of the deep without a walkman.
