Are you going to carry all the gear externally, or will it be packed away?
The problem with most waterproof camera packs is that access time is long,
and risks are high when the pack is open.
If it is mostly packed away, there are a number of very waterproof packs or
sacks, including LowePro's DryZone 100 and 200, see

When canoeing, I use a photo box made by a friend of mine; it is the top
1/4 of a small blue barrel, including the large access hatch, with a
waterproof wooden disk cemented/epoxied/screwed into the bottom. Very
waterproof, and quick access.

Hey All,

So I'm Sea Kayaking to Cumberland Island (GA) this weekend and this is my
first time I intend to bring my OM-4T (T for Trustie). Usually I just throw
a Stylus Epic into my water (tight) box and am on my way, but Trustie and
her accessories just won't fit.

I'd like to bring the OM-4T, the 50 f/3.5 marco, the 28 f/2.8 and the 100
f/2.8. Has anyone else encourtered this problem before? Is there some sort
of box someone sells that is watertight that can (safely) hold this stuff?
I've looked at some of the hardsided cases that they've got over at Wolf
Camera, but nothing seems like it would be water tight/float in case of a
flip/wreck.

Thanks,
Evan
