Dive Wallets Stop Crime!


An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure

So you've decided to take the family to the beach for an afternoon of play and romping in the ocean/lake. It should come as no surprise that wherever large portions of the population gather, be it a baseball game, basketball game or at a local beach, there will also be men/women "at work." These workers being the local drug addicts, drunks and your run-of-the-mill thieves. They will, like any predator, gain a point of vantage to allow them to view the proceedings before them and single out likely families (lone attendees are not exempt either), observe what they have brought in the way of "gear" and after making a mental note of what is readily available (cell phones, wallets, cameras and more) will use an accomplice or by themselves, stroll by the excited family's blanket and hit them for all of their easily saleable goodies that have been left in a beach bag or underneath the blanket, while the family is in the water and be gone in just a few seconds - leaving you possibly w/o a room key, any cash and worse. It happens every day.

There are two products available and designed to thwart this behavior and keep this scenario from happening to you! I am talking about a product called waterproof sports pouches. For protection while snorkeling or scuba diving is the Waterproof DUS Sports Pouch. Or, for wading, protection against submersions, or just wearing around a belt or around the neck, there are the Waterproof DU Sports Pouches which are more popular and even cheaper than the DUS "diving models". These have a closure system that is 100% waterproof, but may slowly work itself loose during the rigors of snorkeling, or withstand the water pressures of deep scuba diving - these activities, as mentioned, require the DUS waterproof pouch.

The best way to avoid theft of your valuables while in the pool, ocean or lake is to take them with you! These waterproof all-purpose pouches are a great way to have your valuables right at your fingertips and also a great way to stop a thief before they ruin YOUR vacation. These are a "must have" item and the cost is so affordable - I wouldn't feel sorry for any reader who took a hit for their purse or wallet, having ever seen one or walked by one w/o purchasing at least one or two. They are awfully cheap insurance. I'd rather not have to make that call that we see on TV commercials - requesting emergency cash, credit cards and what have you. You'd still need a waterproof sports pouch and be out of whatever is NOT covered by that emergency phone call. It just makes sense!
