Excalibur,
i seen the price , it would cost you more too water proof it,the you paid for it, easy one to waterproof, looks like only 2 knobs and a switch, the knobs i buy cost 30.00 each plus head phones and coil connectors 15.00 ea. then the housing, also how about the coil cable length to make it a hip mount. i waterproof many over the years working on my sov gt right now, parts so far about 260.00, plus going to use waterprood headphones thats 130.00, but when done it be good to 200ft, are you can go the cheap way , no knobs, cheap housing for about 25.00 .yes the parts i use are ikelite yes they are not cheap. but i feel better using them,never had a unit leak yet.
