Dynamic mic for under water use with Zaxcom ZFR400

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but...

For a very specific application we need to record audio from inside a full face dive mask to a ZFR400 recorder. We have the waterproofing of the recorder figured out (3D printing a custom case) but now comes the microphone...

One option is the VT500WATER,

But the IPX7 rating is a little borderline... The dive mask can/will be flooded at between 1 and 3 meters for 1-2 minutes max... so it "should" be ok.

The second option is the mic typically used for under water communication in full face masks. It is a dynamic mic called ME-16R

This mic will survive any flooding of the mask that will occur.

So here is the question, and maybe it's dumb / have an obvious answer: Can we use the ME-16R, a dynamic mic, with the ZFR400?

Grateful for answers/input.

All the best,

Joachim
