Can anybody point me in the right direction.

I have had to return my Garmin 101 as it has died, (got it at xmas). It seems it is not water proof like they claim. The supplier is replacing it.
I,m in Bunbury WA, my question is where can i get a aqua pack/bag to suit a garmin 101.

Thanks in advance, Cheers

Windforce in Perth sell Aquapacs and I believe Bias Boating have a cheaper version for sale.

If it helps I got an Aquapac from Johnny Appleseed. Just google them here in Oz. I think it was around the $30 mark incl postage.
They work great, got catapulted at great rate of knots, the impact ripped it off my arm and it was just floating there right next to me.
If it had of been just the GPS, gone!!!!!!!

I'd look at the aqua pac mini pro as that comes with a velcro arm strap for better access when sailing. Jez at Secondwind sells them.

Bender just posted some pictures of some cases that I,ve been working on for the past year.These are water and impact proof.The pictures are the prototypes, the main problem has been getting the switches to work. This has now been solved. Hope to have them available for people in the next few weeks. The best thing is you can wear them on your wrist and read them while you sail.These have survived crashes of 40kts. I hope to sell them for around $30 or I happy to help people make them themselves.The bags work well but they won,t fit on your wrist.
