What do we do with our money and ID while on water excursions?

Question

We are doing a couple of excursions that will involve water...like cave tubing...I am wondering where we keep our things (change of clothres, money, ID while we are in the water? Do we need to bring our own dry bag? is there a secure place for us to leave things?

Answer 1

Check out http://www.waterproofcases.net

they have great water proof case. Keep money, id, credit cards in a small pocket size case. If you are cave tubing, snorkling, etc they will most likey supply some sort of place or bag to put things it, to be safe always travel with a few ziploc bags tucked away!

Answer 2

Most Cruise excursions are all ready planned out . I usually carry a water proof belt that has a zip type pocket on it that is big enough for Bills,Credit Card , & your Ship ID Badge ...

Answer 3

Limit your valuables ( no jewelry, etc). You really only need 1 credit card and id. Put in plastic baggy a stuff it any where you can. Most mens suits have pockets. Just remember to secure the bag to the suit.

Answer 4

We travel as a family of six. EVERYONE carries a ziplock or a "water wallet". A few dollars in local currency, COPY of ID (Xerox- emergency use), and a chapstck, or ...? Carry as little as possible, but don't forget a waterproof camera- real or disposable. Too much to mess with to worry about "stuff". Enjoy the time.... leave as much as possible secured elsewhere. For "shore stuff", I try to limit to a dry shirt, small towel, and water bottle- packed in an open weave net bag (WalMart- $3). Mine are faded and old--- and look "not worth stealing", which is the key.

Answer 5

The Company you are going with should supply a Support Person on Dry land to keep your belongings secure.

Check with them first.

Hope this Helps

Answer 6

Leave it home.

Have someone drive you to the cave who can hold your things or take them back home.

There are plenty of waterproof containers you can purchase. Go to your Big Five or other sporting goods store.

Be sure your insurance is paid up and you have started to fund your retirement program.

Be sure someone knows where to and when you are going.

Don't try to hide the things outside the cave. Someone will find it. It happened to me.

Answer 7

There's two options I can think of:

1. Ziplock/plastic bags are cheap and come in many sizes. I think they would be good for IDs, credit cards, coins, etc. They would be good for those because most of those are already laminated or made of plastic/metal and would be watersafe. For paper money, you could double-bag them.

2. Depending on where you live and how much you spend, you could find a good "outdoorsman" kind of store. They may specialize in more water-tight containers that can hold bigger items or more valuable items.

If all else fails, I would suggest contacting a travel agency that deals with trips, cruises... they may also have a few pointers or ideas on where to get security or where to leave secure items. Good luck.

Answer 8

You can get water proof bags for a start.

Lock other things in a car boot etc.
