Waterproof iPod Case Takes Tunes to the Deep Blue Sea
By Dave Peterson | June 30, 2009
The next time you’re exploring a sunken Spanish galleon at 200 feet, the moment need not be marred by a lack of appropriate tunes. H2O Audio wants all you snorkelers and divers to be able to take your iPod or iPhone on your next journey to the briny deep. The iDive300 is a clear iPod case, waterproof to 300 feet, that provides external buttons for all the audio playback functions (play, track skipping, volume, etc.) and delivers the sound to you through a pair of underwater speaker/headphones that are designed to clip onto the strap of a dive mask. Connection is made through the iPod dock connector and the case is compatible with all iPods (except Shuffles) since the iPod with Video (5th Gen). Although compatible with the iPod functionality of the iPhone, the instructions explain that interference with phone capabilities can be expected. Which is probably okay, since there’s no provision for a microphone, either. Power for the electronics built into the case is provided by 3 AA batteries. If this is the one piece of gear your underwater adventures have been lacking, you can remedy the situation for a mere $349.
