Agreed..... When I go on a boat dive I just keep my credit card, tip cash, a few save-a-dive items, etc.....in a hard waterproof hard case in my mesh boat bag. Never been "ripped off" and don't worry about it. For reference and scale, the white card on the top is the back of a typical business card.US Dollars are waterproof, Why do this?
I love Bonaire and have 20+ visits there. I'll be back for a 10 day trip the first week of May this year. Anyone that won't accept "soggy dollars" won't get my business. But it's their business and their choice so I 100% respect that.I have actually had damp money refused several times in Bonaire and in Egypt. I mentioned that some business will do that in the video. A definite exception is the boat crew. They are usually grateful to get tips wet or dry.
