What do to with cash/keys while snorkeling/diving?

Off topic, sorry, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for what to do with our phones, keys, passports, and cash while snorkeling in a foreign country?  I figure a lot of you have traveled more than I and done this kind of thing.  I'm leaning towards bringing a small dry bag but that seems risky, too, if lost, and cumbersome.  Do dive operations typically offer lockers by the hour?

just get the smallest drybag and tether it on your leg when you swim.

Leave the passport in the hotel room safe.  Tell the front desk where you are going.  Make a copy of the passport and a take a little money with you in a dry bag.

Good call.  When I spent time overseas the less stuff you carry out and about with you the better. Usually I took a credit card and some cash and left the rest hidden or locked inside my suitcase on the hotel room...they didn't have safes where I stayed.

The rental place may or may not have a place to lock up your hotel key/credit card/cash and if not having a little dry box would be a good call...or just a zippered pocket in yoru shorts..cash will dry out quick enough. 

Where you guys heading??

Thanks, gonna go with a dry bag since I doubt there is a safe at the places we are staying, at least for the first week.

Heading to Bali for her sisters wedding.  For the first week we are staying right near the beach where there's a WWII-era shipwreck 50yards off the beach, so we'll be in the water a lot.

See you muggs in a couple weeks.

Awesome!

Hope you guys have a great trip!!

You might try posting your question on one of the scuba forums. I know there have been divers that have gone there. They would have the low down for that exact place.
I have used a small watertight case that I slipped into my wetsuit, make sure you clip it to the suit. I used a diaper pin.
Have a great time and take photos. I've heard it's great diving.

Is it Tulamben? I dove that wreck, lots of good bump head parrot fish when I was there. I say don't worry too much, if you stay at a decent hotel (not a bungalow) I can't imagine you getting robbed. I always make a few extra laminated copies of my passport and I leave them in different bags.

Last time I traveled in the Caribbean we left everything in our room. Took the room key and small cash and 1 credit card out with us. We usually had someone on shore to watch our stuff. When we did not i just put in zipped pocket in my shorts.

I have a dry bag u can use.

Take me with you and I will hold your personal stuff while you go out in the water.  Then you can hold mine.   

Charlie, yes, Tulamben.  It was awesome, great visibility and tons of fish. 

Thanks for the suggestions and offers.  A drybag worked well but I'm not sure it was even necessary as everyone there was super friendly and honest, even giving correct change when I messed up my currency calculations.
