Dolphins don't like all caps typing either

A quick forum search for 'microphone' pulled up a fair number of interesting threads.
Perhaps you could jury-rig the Gates UW microphone to your enclosure. Another option would be to use an ewa marine bag.

Thanks for the reply "TheQ" are you familiar with sound quality above water with Gates' UW mic? I also know nothing about ewa marine bags. What did you have in mind if you would please be specific ? Thanks much!

Nope, sorry, I'm into still photography.... All I can offer is the 'sound' advice of using the search engines on some of the Internet's U/W forums.
Ewa Marine is the name of the company. Their products are basically plastic bags with lens ports... the bags may transmit sound better than a hard enclosure.

Thanks for the idea, sounds good I'll give the plastic bag a try. B)
