where to find waterproof camera bag?

[KinderTchr]

I have a nice camera bag that I purchased at Disney. However I would like to find a waterproof camera bag for the AK day. I don't want to leave my digital camera in a locker because of the heat.

Any ideas?

Have you tried REI? I vaguely remember looking at their kayak/canoe section a few years back and seeing a waterproof camera bag. If nothing else they do carry small waterproof bags that you can store your camera in.

Thanks for the reply, but what is REI?

Could you just put it in inside a ziplock and then put it in your normal Camera bag? Then, just for wet rides, put everything in a bigger plastic bag.

REI is a outdoor sports store. There is a big one on Westheimer in Houston.

www.rei.com There is one in Austin.

I do the ziploc thing all the time. When we go on "water" rides (rapids etc) I use one bag for our cameras (BF and I) and one bag for wallets,tix and such. We like the slider freezer bags. Big,durable and easy to use!

I purchased one from Amazon, be sure it is a waterproof and not just water resistant., make sure you watch the size because one size does not fit all cameras. I bought a waterproof belly bag there too.(Love to snorkel) Its a Aquapac (brand) ULTRA-CLEAR Technology bag....clear windows for viewing underwater. You might want some dessicant packedges to keep your camera moisture free. (Helps keep the lens from fogging up underwater)
You should make sure that the waterproof rating works for what depth you will be photographing.
