Underwater Loudspeakers

Anyone have any knowledge of, or experience with, underwater loudspeaker systems?

I'm looking to set up a sound system for my pool shoots. I have Googled the subject, just want to know if anyone has first hand knowledge abut any systems.

I was on a set where they used speaker systems to communicate to the in-water crew and cast. I think the brand was Chubble or Blubble or something. The director used it to talk to the UW camera and actors. Seemed to work well. I only remember it because of the running joke about the trouble-Blubble speaker and how there was no silence anymore. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Edit: It's called Lubell. I was close

Thanks, yes I saw that on my search. How was the fidelity; think music would sound reasonable?

I have made several dives with, http://www.floridawestscuba.com/ they use a speaker system on their boat to recall or redirect divers on shark tooth dives. The system seemed to work very well and I was able to clearly hear the captain when he used the system while several hundred feet from the boat and twenty-five feet below. You may want to send them an e-mail about the system.

Thanks for that Phil; I called the guys that they suggested and it seems they are out of business as the phone numbers are no longer in service. I ordered a speaker from the Lubell guys, I'll report back how it works out.
