On my enclosed deck kayak, I keep my standard SLR camera in a
waterproof deck bag. I may be doing some tropical paddling on a sit on

which takes some effort to open. I suppose another possibility would
be some sort of water proof chest bag.
Anyone done much photography from a sit on top with a standard (non
waterproof) camera?
Another option is to spend (maybe 200 US$) some money to buy a cheap
waterproof camera. I've been using a Pentax WR105 for several years now,
it survives submerging, banging quite hard into things and it floats.
With the 38 to 105mm lens you can zoom in quite a bit and the quality of
the pictures is pretty good, albeit not like an SLR. Then again, you
don't need to worry about it falling in the water or getting splashed.

Look at the possibilities, don't worry about the limitations.
