Can someone provide a rough, ballpark estimate of how accurate a typical
hydrophone might be?  For example, suppose I want to measure the
pressure radiated by a vibrating structure submerged in water.  The
hydrophones would measure the pressure to within ... what?  Half a
decibel?  2 dB?

Actually what I'm looking for is the standard deviation of a typical
sample of measurements from a typical hydrophone.  I don't need an
extremely accurate number for a specific model, just ballpark figures.

Any help would be appreciated!
