[cool][#0000ff]It is good to take as many precautions as you can. But those cases protect only against rain or splashes...not clumsiness. Unless they also float they don't do you much good if you drop them overboard. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have fished for years with non-waterproof cameras...secured around my neck with an elastic cord. If I needed waterproof I tucked them into a good quality ziplock plastic bag.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Now if the manufacturers could only come up with a pill or something that would eliminate angler excitement or forgetfulness...or stupidity...that would save not only cameras but a lot of other stuff we drop or knock over the side. I have been diving in some lakes that were literally paved on the bottom with lost items...as well as bottles, cans and other trash.[/#0000ff]
