Excellent product.
I just use an old dive light. take out the batteries and room for key fob and a few dollars. clip it to bcd and all good.Here's one for less than half that
I saw a video on Bonaire dive tips that showed this. I have a spare UK SL3 that is big enough to use "C" battries. That might work for a key fob.I just use an old dive light. take out the batteries and room for key fob and a few dollars. clip it to bcd and all good.
Probably not. Alot of pressure at depth acting on the zip area. Put a sheet of tissue in one and see how long it lasts. Seen cell phone get trashed in ziplocks before by snorkelers.I’ve been wondering (not that I would test this first on a key fob), if you put stuff in a new Ziploc bag and evacuated as much air as you could and made sure the seal was closed, wouldn’t the contents essentially be vacuum sealed as the water pressure acted on it? Any residual air would just be compressed and there would be no force acting to burst the bag. Maybe you’d need a hard container around a key fob to prevent it from being crushed, but I don’t think it would flood.
I think if the contents of the bag are low enough in volume such that the sides of the bag near the zipper are in complete contact, then there’s no pressure differential across the zipper. The main concern would be if the bag had a hole that you didn’t notice. Of course, they’re not very durable, so it would be a a waste of plastic for regular use.Alot of pressure at depth acting on the zip area.
The pressurized air left in the bag is also trying to open the bag's seal from the inside so it can get out....the integrity of those seals is not much. There is a reason that commercial dry bags made with zip-lock seals have double or even triple seals.Any residual air would just be compressed and there would be no force acting to burst the bag.
