NHgirl2012 Posted March 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hi All! My husband and I are going cavetubing in Belize in 2 weeks. Anyone have any recommendations on what to do regarding taking pictures? Thinking a disposable water camera might not be worth it. Was thinking of a waterproof case for my cell phone. Any ideas? Also, how do you carry it while going down in the tube? Can you bring a bag? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted March 12, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 12, 2015 People don't usually carry bags. They ask you to leave that stuff in the vehicle you came in. A waterproof case for your phone might work. I don't know the quality of pictures you might get if the case covers the lens. Get one that has a strap you can wear around your neck. Disposable waterproof cameras aren't all that expense, and there are some decent regular waterproof cameras out there under $150. A separate camera might be your best bet. You'll just have to wait until you can upload the card to a computer or your Dropbox account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksmycat Posted March 14, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2015 My DH bought a Panasonic waterproof camera for about $150. It took decent pictures in the cave. I don't think a disposable one wouldn't work very well because it's so dark. You would need to make sure you have a strap on the camera and strap it on your wrist. Your bags will be in a locker. We had a choice at the end to stay on our tube or swim. The water is deep there. Almost everyone chooses to swim, so a bag would be cumbersome.

Candycane_76053 Posted March 14, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2015 The guide will hold your things while you are getting into the tube, or you can hand them to someone else. There were no waves when we went last May, camera with a strap would not have gotten wet at that time, not sure how it is during other seasons.

CRUISIN' TOGETHER Posted March 22, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2015 We went cave tubing in Belize in 2012 and I carried my regular camera (Canon Elph) in a plastic ziplock bag. I planned to take it out when I wanted to take pics...but no problem at all keeping it out the whole time really. The only time I was in water up to my chest was when we were coming in at the end of the tour...and my camera was fine in the bag; never went under water with it. I could have kept floating in the tube to the end, but wanted to get in the water :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steph7021 Posted March 22, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Go Pro! Or Lifeproof case for your phone (if it's iPhone...but you'll want at least a wrist strap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
