In the boat we have plastic food containers that have four snap down fasteners for the lid and are water proof. They are attached to the boat with suction cups and an a short bit of line - in case of capsize. <br /><br />Have fun swimming again.Pandaboniumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352197350806179930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-87071401890455202092010-09-01T00:43:47.199-04:002010-09-01T00:43:47.199-04:00The seal pak page you linked to says "waterti...The seal pak page you linked to says "watertight protection" in bold type but the fine type description of watertight #2 is that it will withstand quick submersion.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04472848930999735814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-7656555202977778952010-08-31T09:46:44.368-04:002010-08-31T09:46:44.368-04:00I did a little more looking on the internet & ...I did a little more looking on the internet & there are definitely the same sort of thing out there that are watertight. For mine, if I were to repeat the Hawaii trip, or do another trip where swimming & a I'd just get an extra little waterproof box or bag to take care of the electronic key issue.<br /><br />I just can't believe I just assumed that it would be OK!<br /><br />When I discovered the bag wasn't waterproof, after my nice hour of snorkelling while the driver brought me the key, I really was relieved. Seems I was just fated to be locked out of the Mustang that day & drop a whole lot of cash getting back in - but I preferred having the stress at the beginning of the day, when there was all sorts of time to sort things out (with some invaluable assistance rendered by the gentlemen at the surf shop across the highway, who were absolutely great about letting me use their phone & hang out waiting for calls back while the Hertz assistance guy on the mainland made his own calls sorting things out for me), and then go snorkelling knowing help would be there in an hour or so.bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-17557717036105467092010-08-31T06:57:22.704-04:002010-08-31T06:57:22.704-04:00Dave has a small drybag too - I forget who makes i...Dave has a small drybag too - I forget who makes it, but it's perfect.

However, it's an awkward shape, and it doesn't have a belt or strap of any sort, so it would be useless while swimming, unless you're really good at swimming one-handed. It's more designed to protect things in a small boat that might capsize or get a lot of water washing over it.Carol Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07201269435839112134noreply@blogger.com
