I checked out the web site and then called the supplier. Most of the products
are supposed to be submersible to 33 feet, so hopefully they will hold up
better than the "waterproof" pouches I used before. I'm going to try a radio
bag (AQ10L - 13" x 3.9") and a wallet bag for my strobe, spare battery, and
flares (W2 - 7" x 5.3"). I'll report back on how they hold up. The two
products together with shipping run $40-45.
