Top Waterproof Products to Keep Your Valuables Safe When Diving

Nothing is more upsetting than drenching your valuable belongings with saltwater. We all love water but let’s face it, our gadgets and belongings sure don’t. Or even worse, having the stress about leaving your valuables on the beach and worrying about whether pick-pockets will be sifting through your items when you’re in the ocean. 

We’ve all been there and regretted not placing our valuables in a safe place. The last thing you want is to be worrying about your belongings when you go off for a sea swim or take on an underwater adventure. Whether you’re leaving them on the shore or taking them with you in the sea, you don’t want to be worrying about whether your items will be water-free. 

So what if I told you that you can keep your items with you, safe and away from water damage while you’re near or even in the water? Dry bags and waterproof products are a real life-saver when you’re visiting the water. Want a solution for how to deal with protecting your belongings from water once and for all? Read on for our tried and tested list of options: 

Dry Box 

Dry boxes or dry eggs are little boxes that are perfect for storing your small personal belongings such as car keys, jewellery, cards…you get the idea! These small boxes come with a lanyard so you can take them into the water with you without causing any obstruction to your water-based activities. We recommend the Mares Personal Dry Box and the Scubapro Diver's Egg. 

Dry Bag and Dry Sacs

There's no water entering these bags as they’re designed with an airtight top, ready to accompany you while swimming. 

Dry bags are ideal for all types of outdoor adventures, from sea swimming to paddle boarding and boat trips. The classic dry bag stuff-sack design is built to stay dry to keep your valuables safe from the water. 

Dry bags are designed to float on the surface so there’s no need to worry about your belongings disappearing and sinking to the bottom, leaving without a trace. View our full collection of dry bags and dry sacs. 

Waterproof Phone Case

Waterproof phone cases are an absolute lifesaver. Never have to worry about leaving your phone on the beach or unattended when you’re in the water by taking your phone with you using a waterproof phone case. 

What’s even better is that you can use the phone while it’s in the case, so you can take pictures and answer messages on the go. That’s one nifty invention! We recommend the Apeks Dry Bag Phone Case.

Dry Backpack

Keep all your belongings safe from getting wet with an everyday dry rucksack. You can find various water-resistant backpacks on the market and we have a great collection on our shop. We recommend investing in a dry backpack if you’re a lover of boat diving. 

What’s better is that you can even use it for everyday use. So if you’re like us and live in a rainy place, it’s perfect for keeping your gadgets dry while out and about. 

Buoy and Dry Bag 

It's a dry bag designed for swimmers with safety and security in mind. Store your kit whilst you swim AND be visible in open water with the Swim and Safety Buoy and Dry Bag. It can comfortably support the weight of an adult and its capacity usually provides enough space for your clothes, towel, sandals, you name it! View our full collection of Buoy and Dry Bags.

We highly recommend that you get yourself a Safety Buoy and Dry Bag if you’re an open water swimmer.
