It's likely only the Atomic Aquatics Cobalt that we would need to worry about.

On a phone, you'd use BLE to talk to the EON Steel and the Scubapro
G2, which are the main usbhid users (which in turn uses libusb -
unless HIDPI works on Android?).

Of course, BLE is flaky, so USB *could* be good on Android, but let's
be honest - nobody is going to bother.
