yes sure,

but there are a number of issues here..

- most hydros are piezoelectric transducers of some kind and their polar pa=
ttern is not the same throughout the spectrum
- hydros inside the water are hard to be fixed in a place - this  means tha=
t we have to deal with a  whole bunch of phase-related phenomena to end up =
with a correct stereo image of the underwater soundfield


also, I might be wrong in this, but I have a feeling that the speed of soun=
d in the water depends on how salty the water is - anybody knows ?


as I said,  I just dip them in a distance of a couple of meters and that' s=
 it !
