Last Chance to See has a fun bit about listening for dolphins in the Yangtze by taking a regular microphone and putting a condom over it. Always wondered how they sealed the end.
what if you tied it tightly beneath the mic with a rubber band, and then attached a weight 2-3 feet down the cord? that way the condom/mic floats end down and keeps things dry.
Must just be long enough ^^
