The minimum audible angle underwater was replicated with a less intense stimulus (26 dB vs 40 dBre1 μbar) and in this instance the diver/subjects wore no neoprene hood. The data obtained in the present study were compared with the earlier data [S. H. Feinstein, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 53, 393–399 (1973)] and no differences were noted. Moreover, the MAA procedure appeared to be a reliable measure of localization capacity when tested under extremely different environmental conditions.
