Excal 2 yellow head phones underwater

[dannycruces]

I live in Hawaii ,the water and weather here is always quiet nice, so most of my detecting is underwater 3 to 6 feet. Today something strange started happening. Every time I would submerge my head ( with head phones on) under the water my phones would start blasting out a solid tone. The only thing that was different about today was I just bought a lead weighted belt to keep the waves from pushing me around so much. ( Witch works great by the way) So the Excal worked fine until I would go underwater with it. Has this happened to anyone? Whats the deal here? Hope someone out there might understand why. Thank you Aloooooooooooha DC
