A lot of people bring their cameras (digital & film-based) when they go on a snorkeling trip. A lot depends on the boat and sea condition at that particular time. Some days even with a big, slow wooden boat, you can still get splashed on board. Get yourself one of those dry bags or dry boxes (RM50 - RM300++/USD$1=RM3.80) at almost all reputable dive shops or outdoor equipment retailers to keep your precious electronics and i think you should not have a problem. I personally prefer the boxes rather than the bags for my own use.

Using common sense and not bringing them out if you feel the equipment is going to get splashed will save you a lot of dollars.

Yes...I'm aware of those dry boxes but I just want to get a general idea of what most people do.
Some might just use Ziplocks or airtight boxes.

Thanks for the reply but you are not answering to my last question.
I wanted to know how wet is the speedboat ride in case my whole bag gets wet during the jetty transfer.
