what do YOU do with your car keys?

[Brilig]

I'm back into diving after many years away. Years ago I would go shore diving and my car key was just a flat piece of brass. I just clipped it to a D-ring and down I went.
Now my car key has an electronic chip inside and the key fob has a bunch of buttons. Those magnetic boxes aren't really big enough and are kind of obvious.
I'll be diving solo so I'm on my own to figure this out.
What are some of the ideas you shore divers out there have come up with?
Thanks.

I was reading the PLB thread and there are a few decent containers that can be used for the PLB. I bought one and plan on using it for my car keys and cash. I plan on buying a PLB soon, so not a big expense considering!
I’d look at those options

Lock box on one of the vehicle tie-down padeyes. Amazon has lots of them but check the size to make sure it fits your fob/electronic enabled key.

BR...

Hide it...if it's a wooded area...place a nail/screw in a tree and hang it...bury it under a handful of leaves...

Buy a very small dry-box...the credit card type...which I use and dive with it...

You can also make up a small magnetic box and hide it under your car...go to your local transmission shop and get a couple of transmission filter magnets...the shop will usually give them to you at no charge...

Lots of options...

another f you have a floating dive flag put it in a waterproof container and store it on your dive flag float

If they get wet in there chances are your day has already gone to $hit.
