H20 Audio iDive 300
H2O Audio on Tuesday announced the launch of its iDive 300 waterproof housing and over-ear speakers made to fit dockable iPods and let them be taken on SCUBA dives up to 300ft (90m) deep. The product includes the waterproof housing that has a cam knob for a sure seal and a built-in amplifier for the included headphones, engineered to produce clear sound deep under water.
Thanks to a microprocessor incorporated into the case that connects to compatible iPods via the dock connector, users control their click-wheel equipped devices with push buttons instead. The integrated amplifier uses three included AA batteries. The over-ear speakers are designed to fit under a dive hood or strapped to a mask.
Compatible iPod models include the 1st- and 2nd-gen touch, 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd- and 4th-gen nano, classic, and 5th-gen iPod video. The H2O Audio iDive 300 waterproof housing is available now via H2O's website, priced at nearly $350.
