Whether you are a surfer, a water skier, or a kayaker, you should own a few waterproof cases. After all, if you ever bring your camera, cell phone, or iPod along for the ride, you need to protect them.

AquaPac makes specialized waterproof cases with a Class 5 water protection, which means that it can be submersed to depths greater than 12 feet. If you only need to protect your smaller electronic items, AquaPac’s Small Whanganui will do the trick. Because it is made of polyurethane, which is thinner than PVC, you can still operate the controls of your electronic items. This size also provides enough room for medicine, watches, purses, passports, cash, wallets, cameras, etc. It floats so if you drop it into the water you can recover it quickly.

If you need something a bit larger, AquaPac’s Jumbo Whanganui has enough room for maps, first aid kits, boat registration papers, books, passports, electronic items, and other important items. It is also supplied with disiccant satchels that will absorb water in extremely humid conditions, and has four eyelets that will attach easily to canoes and kayaks.

Another great idea, especially for kayakers, is AquaPac’s Belt case, which you can wear around your waist. It is made of the same Class 5 material as the other cases, but is an opaque black so the contents are not visible. Even when you are in water, your contents will not be damaged.
