Perhaps a bit off-topic, but has anyone had experience of using a hydrophone mounted on the underwater housing?

I've often wished I could record decent quality underwater audio along with video. Underwater sound scapes can be rich and it would up production value.

I came across a Housing Hydrophone w/ M14 Thread done by Ambient.de (link below) and would be interested to know if anyone has used it (or similar).
My main reservation: noise from camera operator (diver) would dominate more distant and actual environment sounds?

Thanks!

I don't have experience with housing mounting hydrophone but some with hydrophone hanging in the water. I am using an Aquarian hydrophone.

I suspect you can get easily interfering noises just by rubbing the housing, by the autofocus if it's in auto, even fan if your housing or camera has some. If the hydrophone is directional and let's say mounted forward; it could be better. When hanging the hydrophone in the water, I get noises of me rubbing the cable up to 1-2m from the hydrophone.

Like @Davide DB I have to mute all the sound from my videos, since all I hear is mostly myself. It does make me more and more interested in rebreather diving, just to get rid of that part of the noise.
