Default Wet and Naked - or not?

bringing my 20d to the sea this weekend and it will be splashed on.

couldnt find a waterproof case in time. Anyone has ideas for improvising a waterproof bag?
Army ziplocks, etc?

sorry for misleading

seriously you would not want to risk your camera in a zip lock bag, the sea is a very unforgiving place

you can try the scuba shop down at beach road

nope, scubashop doesnt have any 20D options unfortunately. what kind of activities are you doing? you might want to consider getting the baja drybags like these to keep your stuff dry http://seallinegear.com/dry_bags.asp?Category=DryBags

but you'll have to take the camera out while shooting. you'll have to balance the risk though. are the shots worth your 20D and lens?

my friend drowned his 20D and 10-22 for a shot, but earned enough from the sale of that picture to buy a whole new set with change to spare. YMMV, of course!
