    Lowepro make a fully waterproof bag - Can't think of its name off the top of my head, but they're not cheap. Or good looking, for that matter.

    But then again, I have seen them going underwater with 2 1D's and a an L or two, and re-emerge a few seconds later... And left floating for another 30 seconds.... And still have perfectly dry gear :)

    Here's some magicseaweed.

    Lowepro do a big waterproof one as well.

    I've this one and I've actually thrown it into the sea with my gear inside it, it was grand, just remember to pack a towel on top so you can dry your hands before pciking up the camera.

    Thats a hell of a lot cheaper than this one:

    I wouldn't like to like with that dry tube thing!
    I have a Lowe Pro Vertex 200 AW that I don't use.

    About three weeks ago Aldi were doing a dry bag for about 10 euro. Seemed to be of good quality also.

    In fact €8.99, http://www.aldi.ie/ie/html/offers/2867_5618.htm, Looks good.

    Yeah there's no padding with the dry tube, but as long as you make sure you fold the top properly and don't throw the bag about the stuff should be fine.
