Darcy's Mom Posted December 11, 2007 #1 Share Posted December 11, 2007 What do people do with their cameras while they are swimming? I thought I read somewhere about a security bag that can be attached to a table or a tree. I can't remember what it was called to do a seach. Any ideas?

I've lived here most of my life and never had any trouble with 'snatching' on the beach in broad daylight. We swim within sight of our towels and other beach stuff. Just wrap the camera in your towel so it's out of sight and more importantly out of the sun(heat!) and you'll be okay.

Lsimon Posted December 11, 2007 #3 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I usually just leave my camera in a zip lock bag (to keep sand and moisture away, and tucked into my beach tote and out of sight when I'm swimming. Done that at various islands without a problem and not acually in Barbados - in Barbados we take the camera and all our gear on the Silver Moon with us - our favorite excursion and the best time we've had in Barbados. Yes there is a small risk, but what else can you do? I do back up my pictures before leaving the ship each day if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipoflove Posted December 12, 2007 #4 Share Posted December 12, 2007 On our last cruise we actually brought a gallon size ziploc bag with us. We put our seapass cards, money and camera in it. We then very discreetly dug a shallow hole in the sand and buried the bag. Then we just put a leaf or rock right on top of the hole and then put our blanket on top of that. We love to snorkel and it gave us enough security that we felt okay leaving our stuff unattended.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And keeps things pretty dry - and if they get damp everyone still takes the wet money! We do sometimes keep a few singles for tips in our bag, and not worry about those being left on the beach along with our camera - but other cash, credit cards, ID's & seapass cards? Never!
