how go surfing/diving with fob key?

Currently most cars have fob keys only. No valet key.
This poses a problem for surfers, divers, etc. With the valet key in the past, we would just lock the fob key inside the car, and then take the valet key under the wetsuit. Now that's not an option.
I searched and some potential options are: the witz box, the aquapac pouch, and an external lock box on the door handle. None looks practical.
If you take the small mechanical key in the wetsuit, then you have to take apart the front lock to stick in the mech key, the alarm then starts, then use the fob to silence it... too much crap...
How are other GLC owners dealing with it?

I am a diver and this question interested me. From what I learned, there isn't any case the is good for more than 80ft for 30 min.
What most divers do is take a dive light anf take the batteries out and use it as a SCUBA safe caes.

If you had Internet access you could lock key in car and unlock via net when you return....but if you are surfing I'm guessing this is not an option!

Swap your GLC for a Land Rover.

Did you even look at the FOB? Or read your vehicle operators manual? The FOB has a valet key inserted into it.

What about just locking the key in the car and then having a waterproof phone (or in a case) on your body when you surf and using the mbrace app to lock and unlock the car?
