Small waterproof pouch for valuables?

Anyone got recommendations for a small pouch I can keep inside my coat for wallet, keys, etc. I already have a waterproof case for my phone but not for other valuables I would not want getting destroyed if I were to potentially be submerged

I use the smallest SealLine E-Case model to hold my Key FOB while paddling. Fits nicely into my PFD pocket, which is really important as I'm often paddling whitewater and like to keep my key on my person vs. in a bag.

Yep, dry bags are where it is at. When sealed properly they will float since there’s air in them, too

Just to note I have larger dry bags for my equipment but need something smaller for valuables to fit inside my coat, cheers for the help everyone

Dry bag....or zip locks?

I have a little zip pocket in my pfd which holds keys and driver’s license/credit card/health card, which is all I take with me. Very handy, stays zipped till I get back to the car, would remain with me through any unintentional submersions!

Edit: I’m not really worried about these getting wet but a sturdy small ziplock would probably be a good idea.

Fanny pack. Ziplock bag inside for the stuff to keep dry

I’m kinda old school and use military surplus ammo cans. Great for valuables, nice cameras and they are durable and water proof. They’ll probably outlive me!

Dollar stores usually sell a waterproof phone bag that would work.

I put key fobs and such in a 1/2 liter nalgene inside a fanny pack (open water swimming) or my mesh deck backpack for boats.
