Here's a nice looking USB Flash Drive that's waterproof to 200m. Kinda bulky, as to be expected, but seems like a nice package. Almost reminds me of some match cases. At $60 for 4GB it actually doesn't seem too bad.

More links to lots of articles.

Are there programs that go with the flash drives that will work with any computer ? If I use it for Emg. information and nobody but me can get to into it, it's no good. I am asking about all flash drives.

No offense intended, but my first thought was "This is for the computers that I can take SCUBA diving?"

Ouch that is pricey. Maybe a cheaper flashdrive in a waterproof case could accomplish the same thing, along with a couple rubberbands for shock absorption? Furthermore, if there is widespread poweroutages during an emergency, it might be useless anyway.
