Two thoughts.  a)  wouldn't working divers (researchers etc.) faced with
the need to make field notes, be better off with a hand held computer
(Wizard, Psion Organizer, etc) than voice?  Of course, in many ways voice
is better if you can have a topside recorder to transcribe observations.
I would probably want to mount such a device on my forearm - just like in the
Abyss!

b)  Pete: could you describe your application in more detail?  What are you
taking notes on, are you diving mix, scuba or surface supply, etc.

Safe diving,

Wrolf
