Container to take car smart key fob down with me.

[CaveSloth]

I am imagining a small metal cylinder with a screw top containing rubber o-rings that will perfectly fit my car key FOB (2.5"x1.75"x.5") with a bolt snap to attach it to a ring inside one of my weight pockets. Please let me know if such a thing exists. Thanks.

I can't lock it in my car and use one of those chipless keys to lock the doors and I have never been able to relax with it being hidden somewhere under, around, near my car while I dive.

I know it doesn’t look like much but we bought something very like this at Dive Friends several years ago and its still doing well. Just for added protection I first put the key in a ziplock then place it in the canister.

If you have a roof rack, I find that a master lock portable lock box works great. I have also used magnetic lock boxes in the past. I do not know of anything to take down with you that is water tight besides a small pelican box

I have an old Princeton Tec light that held 8 AA cells that I now use to take my keyless fob with me.

You just need to figure out what old light or camera case your key will fit in and then find one on EBay.

I would trust this one but it's $300

Find a metal screw down dive light with a double o-ring seal and remove the battery carrier. Probably have the lanyard included. Don't get a plastic one as some of them rely on the carrier support to keep from crushing.

All modern vehicles have tie-down points so they can be transported by rail or ship. Look under your bumpers or for removable panels on your bumper. I second the suggestion of using a lock box on the vehicle that uses a combination or key lock.

I don't think that would work with my keyless fob. The doors unlock when I get within 3 feet of my car.

$15, not $115. It works fine, so far. Lock box on car is safer, but a bit more fuss. Don't forget that *some* places you do NOT want to lock the car.

Our fob has a removable key, so the fob/electronics cab be locked in the car.

Use an old dive light? Dump the batteries, pop in your key. Bob's your uncle!

Or an obsolete point & shoot camera housing...
