What do you do with valuables while snorkeling?

I%26#39;ve been reading to not keep valuables (wallet, cash, credit cards, etc) in the locked rental car while at the beach even if locked in the trunk. But I also read not to leave these items on the beach - which all makes sense to me.

However, what do you do with them then if you snorkel at Poipu or Tunnels? Take them snorkeling with you? Is there some kind of waterproof wallet that I need to get? The only other time we%26#39;ve been snorkeling was at XelHa in Mexico, and they had lockers where you stored your stuff while you snorkeled.

Thank you in advance!

Leaving valuables on the beach is not a good idea. Leaving them in rental car trunk is not so good either since thieves can get into the trunk easily.

I only bring a credit card, car keys, drivers license, and enough cash for lunch and snacks to the beach, and put them in water-proof boxes that I bought at ABC stores or Walmart. Recently I switched to a water proof pack -- check out www.aquapac.net; they have water proof bag for your camera also.

We, too, don%26#39;t take much with us. But we sometimes find little hiding places in the car for money(and take our chances), and will sometimes bury the keys somewhere on the beach and hope we can find them again. Although I%26#39;ve seen lots of back packs and keys laying around on the beach and never seen anyone mess with them. Someone even asked us to watch there stuff for a short while one day while they took a little walk. I guess we looked trust worthy and were willing to oblige.

We packed our beach bag full of our cameras, wallets, etc and left them on the beach and went swimming. Most beachgoers were tourists like us, and at no time did I feel unsafe about leaving anything in the car trunk, or on the beach. Just keep it out of plain view. No problems at all to report regarding theft, or damage.

We%26#39;ve never had a problem either. We don%26#39;t take alot of cash. I have a beach bag and just have my favorite sunglasses and watch at the bottom and put something on top like a bag of chips etc. So they%26#39;re not in plain view.
