The only thing new that is probably worth checking out is that the ICOM
is now powered by a lithium battery instead of NiCads.  This means no
hassles about full draining before recharging etc.  I don't know how
submersible it is.

Don't recommend the remote mike/speaker made for this, certified submersible as well.  Can't prove it, but I think the connector from the remote mike to the radio itself was the source for the water incursion I had with mine.
