Corrected entry: When they go to investigate the phantom signal, just after Ned asks Zissou if he can call him "dad", Zissou orders the crew to go ahead by clicking his fingers. This is impossible, they're under water.
Correction: Snapping his fingers is a running joke through-out the movie.
Correction: Steve Zissou and Team Zissou film documentaries. Their whole lives center around the documentary and they are always "on" - everything is filmed for possible inclusion in the documentary. It is not unexpected (or unreasonable) that they will always be mic'ed for sound as well.
