Have an egg and small dry box and dry bag. Like the dry box best since I can put keys, money, drivers licences a a CC. I put it in a ziplock just to keep out any addition wet. I put a neck band on and tuck it under wetsuit by chest. Minimal buoyancy.
What to do with "stuff" when diving...

@diversteve : Are these big enough to hold a credit card, license, AND a car key with electronic door locks? Once, long long ago, I tied the key for a Ford Explorer to my bathing suit while snorkeling in Two-Step bay on the Big Island, which shorted the key, which resulted in my paying the rental car company $100 (at least as I recall) to bring us a new key! We had a good time waiting for them to drive down from the airport but the 100 bucks hurt.

Witz sells a wider case - some of them on that page named Locker that could work. One of them is designed for a pair of glasses so should be thick enough.
I have ome of the small 6.95 ones - an electronic key would not fit. I also have the slightly bigger clear blue one - it would hold something about the size of a thick wallet so should work.
Of course the wider, the more side pressure so higher possibility of leaking.
Some people use a dive light with no batteries in it instead. Mine have a double o-ring, screw down bezel and are aluminum - rated to 100M (Dorcy) Not wide enough for a credit card though.

Thanks much. Like the dive light idea but good pt re no credit card or license. Thanks again.
Yes, but I get the impression vehicle theft is not a significant problem on Bonaire. What most of us are more concerned about is petty theft of articles from vehicles, and perhaps also a little random vandalism.
It's a small island. Where're you gonna go?

Like any Barney Fifth couldn't find a car on that island in under 2 hours. lol Well, whatever the agreement is, in Bonaire, I just stash it somewhere. Sometimes even under a rock....

I have an S3 T something and it works fine. It's a one clasp model and I tie some surgical tube around it so I don't accidentally pop it open. Leave the credit card in the safe. Polars are cheap in Rincon. Be careful, some normal looking keys still have a chip in them. I don't know if they are very susceptible to water damage but I'd put them in a small ziplock and then in the case. Take old prescription glasses along and hang them in a bush. And show your buddy where you hid them and make sure they're paying attention 
I take cheap sunglasses along that I get from work - no one will steal those things.
I'll do like wwguy says and separate my flipflops. Throw one under a tank and one under the truck. But then, I really like those flipflops.

I buy 'sunglasses' at the welding gas supply place for Bonaire. They have 3 great benefits. First, they are super cheap ($5ish), they do a great job of blocking the sun, and they are apparently immune from theft on the island. Never had a pair stolen.
