H2O Audio
History
H2O Audio was started as a graduate student project at SDSU by a SCUBA diver who wanted to take music with him while diving, hence the company was originally named Diver Entertainment. In 2002 the first patents were approved, followed by the development of waterproof technologies in 2003. By 2004 the first underwater SCUBA product was shipped. In 2005 the company moved into developing waterproof headphones and cases for MP3 players, including ipods. 2007 was the year Olympic Swimmer Natalie Coughlin was brought on as the first official H2O Audio Ambassador and later in 2008 big wave surfer Laird Hamilton was also named an official H2O Audio Ambassador. Currently Laird Hamilton has his own signature version of Surge Headphones. In 2009 Olympic Swimmer Michael Phelps also became an official ambassador of the brand, along with triathletes Greg and Laura Bennett.
