Travel gear storage ideas?

[t4e]

I need some ideas and advice on how/where to store my dive gear when back at the hotel. My wife is not a diver (yet) and is not wild about the distinct smell scuba gear has when removed from the Atlantic ocean. I cleaned everything well in the tub ( she wasn't wild about that either) and hung it to dry , also in the tub.
Was afraid to hang it out on the balcony due to sun and possible theft. Putting it in the back of the SUV for the rest of the week dont make sense either .

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

well, i hate to break this to you but if she has such an aversion to the smell and washing the gear in the tub, she may never be a diver lol...or...you will do the washing for both, preferably somewhere offsite

My wife doesn't dive. She is insistent on me putting it out on the balcony. I have a small tarp for shore diving. I would hang up the gear then cover it with the tarp. I have plenty of bungee cords with balls on them (http://www.tradersupplies.co.uk/med...5fb8d27136e95/b/u/bungee-cord-example_2_1.jpg) and mini clamps (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41TWUweUQEL._SY300_.jpg) for securing the tarp.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I think I will combine them to create a solution. I decided to get 2 of the same plastic tubs to fit one in the other. The outside one will be whole. The inside one will be drilled full of holes. I can use the outside one to wash everything in. And the inside one to put things in to dry on the balcony out of the sun.
