Out on the water it is important to have a means of communication if it all goes pear shaped. A phone in a waterproof case is good insurance but don't risk your expensive phone!
Waterproof phone cases such as Aquapac and Overboard are rated as submersible to certain depths for a period of time (see individual listings for the IP rating).
There are also cases specifically for VHF radios that accommodate the antenna.
Your GPS (although it may have a waterproof rating) may also benefit from some extra protection - depending on model they will fit in Aquapac 358, 368 or a smaller VHF case for models with the bigger aerial.
Aquapac also make a wide variety of cases for other items such as insulin pumps - if you have a particular requirement contact us.
