Keeping cell and car keys safe while diving

[justinthedeeps]

Reputable dive housing for your phone?
Can you make calls on the surface thru a sealed Divevolk (etc) housing? Added safety/emergency feature?

I got rid of my phone so now the organisational capacity in my head is back to 100% no longer reliant
You see it was supposed to be my phone, for me, well I paid for it, and the people constantly rang me

Do you get these, "What are you doing?" "What are you doing??" as they are too lonely to drive home
for 20minutes

A bit like "You hang up first." "No you hang up first."


Keys I need, so I just get them cut with just a generic chip, no electrics and store them in my first stage

And or tie them into my budgie smugglers, sorry no photos

great question. so if you are traveling i assume you will be using a rental car. my self personally, i would not want to take and type of electronic key in the water with me. way to expensive if you have to replace. but perhaps you could bring just the removable key (if it has one) with you, and lock the electronic part in the trunk?
i would leave the cell safely behind.
when we were shore diving curacao (which was awesome btw, i hid the key in the bush.
dont leave ANYTHING in the car. some even suggest leaving the car unlocked. but that would give them access to the trunk i guess.
lots of petty theft

My older car had a valet key that came away from the FOB. Genius! I put the FOB in the trunk, put the valet key on a locking clip that I attached to my bathing suit, and enjoyed my dive. Easy.

I remember the good ol'e days back in the 90's in Bonaire where you get to Buddy Dive and they hand you a room key and a truck key and you just put-em on a neck chain and leave-em there for the whole trip.

Progress is not always in a forward direction.

And....If it ain't broken......fix it until it is!

We have dived a good bit on Bonaire, where divers are advised to leave Nothing at all in the vehicle at the dive sites.
When the rental trucks went to electronic keys, we had to devise ways to either hide a key ( risky behavior) or find a way to continue to bring the key on the dive, as we had done when the trucks had old fashioned metal keys.

When rental trucks first began to switch over, they too came with a metal key, hung from a ring, with the fob.
My brother removed the fob, and secured it up inside the dash, near the ignition switch, and we took the key diving.
Soon though, they had switched over to the electronic keys, and we needed to find a safe way to carry the damned things on the dive.
