from South Kohala, Hawaii...

Hi Joe,

Thank you for creating the SQ26-MT underwater recording system. The sound quality is incredible! The system is very easy to use and takes up less room than a camera in our waterproof bag. We set up everything in minutes once we get out on the water.

The fact that everything arrives already charged is super thoughtful. We like the laminated instructions and noise-reduction tips that come with the hydrophone. Getting started couldn't have been made easier.

We use the hydrophone to listen to and record humpback whale songs in South Kohala, Hawaii. What an experience it is to sit in the kayak, see the whales when they surface above water, but also to be able to listen to them at the same time. The whole bay turns into a giant underwater concert hall. After a while, you begin to recognize individual whale singing voices.
