We'll be on Curacao soon and plan to rent a car and visit various beaches to snorkel or scuba. We've seen people saying "Don't leave anything in the car" and also "Don't lock the car" (because a window will get broken).

We're looking for solutions on where to put things like a driver's license, dry clothes, and so on. Are there lockers at beaches? Maybe we go minimalist and just hide cash or a card or two under a seat?

We have some supposedly waterproof pouches, and even a metal cylinder for keys (supposedly ok for scuba) but I'm skeptical about all of those.

Or maybe we're just overthinking it but it's become a concern. Thanks!

Taking the wife on a trip next Month, to Curacao or Belize. She's an occasional, and quite rusty, diver, but would like to do more.

Seems like Curacao is a better choice for that - she has trouble equalizing, but with so much beach diving, you can take your time at 4 feet, 10 feet, whatever. Avoids the stress of a mass boat launch, and of being the last to get down.

Belize, though, has good jungle and Mayan ruins. Seems like a lot of the diving is boat diving, tho. And the Sargassum may be in on the beaches - seems to be a big year for it.

Appreciate any input! Thanks!
