Freestyle Audio has come to the rescue of all music-longing water-sport enthusiasts by creating a completely submergible, waterproof MP3 player. Download tunes to the 1.2-ounce unit via the included USB cable, then tuck the player into the neoprene arm band (also included), fit the waterproof earbuds snugly into your ears, and your ready to hit the water. The armband is hardly noticeable while submerged, and the long headphone cord allows comfortable movement whether you're doing the breaststroke or the butterfly. The battery lasts 40 hours, so the tunes will keep playing long after you're back on land. Just be sure to design your playlist carefully, as the minimalist interface allows you to skip only forward and backward between songs, and there's no LCD display to guide you through your tracks. And if you want to take it on your next overseas snorkeling adventure, be sure buy the power adaptor (not included); otherwise, you'll need a USB port to recharge the battery before returning to aquatic audio splendor.
