I'm a Fish!
My wife and I are heading to Bonaire soon, and I'm looking for a small box that can hold a wallet, cell phone and keys that would be good to 130'. Otter Box only guarantee their units to 100', and Pelican I believe is even less. Any suggestions?
 
I'm not sure the 100' limit would stop me from taking my otter box deeper. I would think it would be okay at 130'. Another option, probably not a cheap one, is to find an old ikelite housing someone is getting rid of and use it as a waterproof box. An old housing for an obsolete camera can't be worth much and would work much deeper than you would probably ever dive.
 
You can always get a "Seal-a-Meal"
It is a machine that vacuums out all the air in a bag
and then thermally seams it closed.

yea, but draggin that 10,000' extension cord around to seal his keys in at every dive site would be a real PITA.

make life easier.... take ID and a few bucks, your 2 keys and shove them in your pocket and go diving - leave the rest back in the room. put the cellPhone in sandwich bag and bury it in your dive big in the giant pile of assorted dive gear 'remnants' left in the back of the truck; leave the windows open, and open the glove box - nobody will bother you.
 
I used the otter box up to 160ft. I didn't have any problem.....
 
I've used the smaller version of this case since 1991(the same one) It's never leaked. The larger one will take everything but your phone - maybe it also if it's a Razr. If your phone isn't GSM, I don't think it works on Bonaire.

Once you get your BMP tag, you won't need to show your c-card anywhere. We got by with keys, d/l, a credit card and $20 cash all week. Which easily fits in the smaller version. It has a lanyard so you can wear it around your neck.
