Sound trough your teeth is possible with AQUA FM

I’m not a fan of pointless aquatic accessories, like MP3 players, or anything that allows you to do anything else than swimming in water, you know… when you’re in water, but AQUA FM is worth a look.=

Here’s how it works:

Basically, we have here a radio snorkel, or snorkel with FM function, but that’s not that important compared to how sound is transmitted. You don’t have any wireless earpieces, nothing classic, but a bone conduction mouthpiece. What’s that? A transmitter that uses your teeth to transmit sound, all that bypassing the external ear. AMPHICOM, the producer of AQUA FM says that the sound quality is outstanding, but we can’t test this statement.

What strikes me is that AQUA FM is watertight to just 10 meters (~ 33 feet) depth, so no AC/DC for any deep divers working on industrial sea platforms (not that you could go to 200m with just a snorkel). Power is provided by AAA batteries, which better be watertight also.
