How about in your car?

Yup I do the trunk thingy. :14:

Why is that sambolino44? I mean, have you heard of stuff being stolen on a boat dive?

No, but then I've also never heard of a car being broken into at the place where I do most of my shore dives. Worrying doesn't have that much to do with reality; it's just a feeling.

I really do need to get some king of waterproof carrier for my valuables, though. When you're travelling, staying in cheap hotels or camping, and really, really, really don't want to lose your passport, Visa card, and return ticket, the only way that I can relax is to carry them with me at all times.

It's not so much how likely it is that the stuff would get stolen as how bad it would be if it does.

I hide mine in my truck if there is no one on shore I know.My truck has a keyless entry,so I dont have to worry about keeping something with me to get in to my truck.I have 2 wallets.My everyday wallet and my dive wallet.In my div wallet which is a cheapy,I just carry my Dl and a little bit of cash.Everything else I leave in my good wallet home.

Bonaire shore diving...no wallet, make a copy of your DL before you leave the states and carry it with you. Most other valuables are locked up in room safes. Try this one... for $ and credit cards take a tiny zip lock bag with those zippy things on the top, put some cash and a credit card in them. zip it up almost all the way, then suck some air out. put in bc where you know it will be safe. It has worked for me. As far as our keys, we put them under a large piece of coral by the truck. No problems in the last 15 years....

Generally with my wife. In the car otherwise.

If you do the wife thing make sure you leave only a little cash. Otherwise, you have to wait for her to get back from the Coach store.
