A Dry Towel When You Need It

The Tilia Foodsaver sitting on your kitchen countertop can be used for more than just packaging leftovers. It provides a great way to compress and seal clean towels for travel.

Most live-aboards provide towels, but day boats and some multi-day boats expect you to bring your own.

Its usually about three days into a dive trip that you realize your dry towel is so wet, crusty and stinky that you wouldn't want to use it to dry your fins, much less your camera gear.

Ah...but you remembered to stash those back-up towels in your dive bag. In spite of all the dripping wet divers that have been rummaging around your stuff for the past three days, you will have a towel that is dry and clean. You'll be the envy of the dive boat!

Because the Foodsaver sucks out most the air in the bag before sealing it, the towel is very compact and packs easily in a side pocket. Do consider your return trip home. You'll need to either pack it or dispose of it.

The Foodsaver also is great for packing those little gadgets, bits and pieces that you might need for a trip as well as clean T-shirts.

You can pick one up at your local Costco store or on Ebay.
