    Quite a few people use the AT Pro in salt water, myself included. Try not to let big waves crash into it and rinse it off after every hunt, also if you don't have the waterproof headphones just keep you're head above water.
    Anything worth doing is worth over doing!

    It will work... The key is ground balance. Ground balance in the dry sand, again in the wet sand and AGAIN in the water. You may also want to manually adjust the ground balance down a notch or two and decease sensitivity a little to increase stability.

    Lube up the O-rings on the coil and headphone connectors and put some dielectric grease on the terminals. Wash it off after you finish, it should be fine.

    Also make sure that the o ring and sealing areas are clean, one grain of sand can spoil your trip. HH
