My ACR 2881 leaves the house every time I do, everywhere. I do rent a dive canister to use it on trips as I don't get to dive that often. I don't think I'd carry both but for those who won't rent or own a PLB, a water resistant phone in a camera case is an interesting idea.You can also take a PLB if you're going shallow diving. Mines is a Inreach Explorer which has a SOS for search and rescue, GPS navigation and I can text message people using satellites which has a better chance of getting signal in the ocean than a cell phone. And it can stand being exposed under 1-meter of water for 30 minutes. Putting the Inreach Explorer in the dive bag makes me feel a lot more safer in the ocean.
