Found a weird hack for keeping my comms dry in the Gulf last month

I was working a 60-foot repair job off Port Fourchon last month and my headset kept getting moisture damage. I grabbed a pack of those cheap silica gel beads from a tackle shop and taped a small pouch inside my helmet. It sucked up all the humidity and my radio stayed clear for the whole 3-hour dive. Has anyone else tried something like this for wet conditions?

Yeah that's a solid trick. I did something similar with a small cloth bag of kitty litter in my tackle box last summer. Kept everything bone dry even after a full day of fishing in the rain.

Kitty litter's a lifesaver in a pinch, ain't it?

A full day of fishing in the rain? Dude that kitty litter trick is genius but I can't believe you actually tested it in a real storm. I'ma have to try that because my tackle box got soaked last week and all my lures rusted up.
