Protecting car keys

Hi all,

This is my 1st post here as I'm just learning to dive/snorkel. I wonder is there any reliable way of protecting the car key when underwater? I can't leave it on the shore for it may be stolen and can't find anything reliable enough to take the key with me to the water.

Unfortunately I have a keyless car entry system, so I can't just use a mechanical key (the car has one, but if I leave the transmitter in the car anybody can still open the car).

Thanks

I suggest you do leave it on shore. Just like 100,000 surfers do on any given day around Australia.

I leave my car keys with my car when diving... I just hide them well.

A friend has a small screw top plastic container for putting her key in, and attaches it to her BC pocket. I dont know if she has her imobiliser in it aswell or how deep it would go. We mainly do shallow shore dives, 10 meters, so it should be ok.

I have a little waterproof box that fits in my BCD pocket. I put my key, some money for drinks and my cell phone in it. I also have my phone in a plastic zip bag to protect it on the surface If I need to use it out at sea.

You wont leave me behind :)

Get a plain metal key cut, that will open your door/boot lock- then hide your chipped key in the boot is the most secure way to deal with it, without shelling out much coin.

They inhabit rocky and coral reefs or sandy bottoms, from the intertidal area to depths of at least 110 m. Wobbegongs are best distinguished by their flattened head ...
