Abstract
A submersible, hydrostatic pressure tolerant enclosure is presented for a portable radio, tape recorder/player, minidisk player, mp3 player, cellular phone, or other devices used for projecting audio, in the form of a rigid unified membrane with a built in stereo jack adapter capable of a pressure resistant coupling to a stereo jack. Also presented is a removable rigid lid allowing for the inserting and removing of the device from the enclosure, which is comprised of recessed sealing compression o-rings and control knobs to externally manipulate the internal device. Also provided is a hydraulic coupler system adapted into the frame of the housing that contains a stereo jack adapter that connects to a submersible pressure resistant scuba mask strap speaker system. The speakers have the ability to rotate horizontally and vertically to be positioned near the ear canal or moved out of the way in case of an emergency. These speakers system also contain a device that will provide the means for regulating amplification to maintain fidelity. As a unified system, this invention safely, hydrodynamically, and economically enables a scuba diver to listen to a high fidelity audio track from a portable device while underwater in a pressurized environment.
