It sounds like a problem in one of your hydrophones.  Are waves flooding
over it?  It sounds like you can hear gas bubbles in the recording.
This loud chirp appears to occur every time a wave rolls over it.  It
could be some kind of pressure settling thing.  Can you recreate it by
dropping it quickly into the water?
