Anyone have any idea how to make an underwater map?
I had a small map of the Quarry we dive at a lot.
My sister's a teacher, so I hade her laminate it. When I trimmed it I still left about 1/4" of plastic all the way around.
First dive we took it on killed it.

National Geographic sell waterproof paper for ink jet printers. I've not used it for diving but I have used it for sailing and camping with no problems.
It appears to hold the ink in any circumstances and is impossible to tear.
you can get it here. (http://www.waterproof-paper.com/adventure-paper.html)
If you try it please let us know if it works.

Rite-in-the-rain produces waterproof paper that you can use in a copier or laser printer.

You can also get one of their notebooks and print on a page that you rip out. DON'T try this with the Durarite notebooks since this a plastic that will melt onto your laser printer's fuser (yes, I have personal experience).
Or just use the laminated paper like before, replacing it as necessary.

I use the GBC Docuseal Hot lamination pouches. This stuff seems to work fine.
