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.

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.
