I left a giant underwater cube of 8 hydrophones hanging from this catamaran in French Polynesia for several days. Some storms blew over and I was able to record underwater rain. The rain + electric pops of the snapping shrimp combine to create Blade Runner rain:

Dolphin clicks and coral reef sounds in French Polynesia. The key to recording in a 3D cube is using stereo cables. I put two Gladys hydros on each cable (with a splitter to keep the top hydro from banging). Works super well. Hear more:

Setting up a 7 meter x 7 meter x 7 meter cube of 8 hydrophones underwater is quite a challenge. The key is to use stereo cables and, for example, put channels 1&5 of the cube on the same cable. Hear dolphins with this 3D array:

The key to making a 7m x 7m x 7m cube of hydrophones underwater is to use stereo cables (with 2 hydros on each cable). Then you can just run one cable to each corner of the large sailboat to setup a 3D hydrophone array. Hear the clicks of snapping shrimp:
