If I was going half way around the world I'd certainly pare my setup
down. For here in Georgia I can still have a number of mics along in the
Ranger. I won't carry more than one or two out into the bush at a time.
Collapsing under our load is a real possibility.

It might be worthwhile noting that there is a difference between
waterproof speakers and underwater speakers. The NEAR appear to be
waterproof, but not designed to work on water, i.e. completely
underwater, they still are designed to move air.
One place to look for underwater speakers is swimming pool equipment
suppliers. And places that supply swim teams and the synchronized
swimming performers. Every time I've looked the prices were high. But
the underwater speakers are more designed to vibrate the water. For true
submerged use.
