Résumé

Theoretical arguments about underwater sound localization predict that auditory cues used in air are impaired in water. However, long term acclimatization could emerge due to exposure to the environment. We have compared localization abilities of expert and novice divers. The localization task was conducted for 8 azimuthal sound positions and 8 signals (0.4, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 kHz, white-noise). Results indicate that localization was better for experts: they made more correct localizations and their directional response distribution was less dispersed. These results demonstrate long term acclimatization in the processing of localization cues under water, particularly of interaural cues.
