PLBs Can Save Your Life

Putting the PLB in a double zip lock bag before you put it in the underwater case will protect it from getting wet, although it will not help against pressure.

This is what happened to @Luxe mile diver. So definitely no soft case for my PLB1.

In a mist/fog that'll just as likely blind only yourself and not penetrate all that far. For the kind of rain storm in the video posted by @Kevrumbo above, they should be still penetrable enough & the Dive Alert is still loud enough to attract the boat crew attention, I think.

In US water, if you turn on a PLB for a non emergency situation, you may be fined to as much as $2000.
