Hey Dryrod,
You're right about the expensive camera on a tube - to a point.
[cool]Actually, buying a water resistant camera, putting it on a lanyard around your neck and being very careful makes it fairly safe unless you're whole tube takes a dunking - in which case you have bigger problems than the state of your camera.
This great wisdom from a guy who, just last night, left his nice little 1 Gigabyte thumb drive in his pants pocket when he washed them. Halfway through the wash cycle I realized my mistake but it was too late. The wash finished, I carefully dried it out, stuck it into the USB port, and it worked like a charm. I don't want to press my luck but I guess not all electronic equipment dies in water.
