Depends on the vehicle. On top of a tire or inside the gas door are common places. Before I had the cap installed on my truck there was a little storage pocket that was perfect. I used to keep them on me when I went caving, then I realized if I got stuck and I was the only one who drove to the site, we'd all be in a world of hurt. No matter where you stash them, if you're the only one who drove and especially if there's no cell coverage, make sure the other people in your group know where they are.

Hiding place on the car. When we go with others, we switch keys so if someone gets the keys on my truck, they don't have the keys to my truck. Don't know how that works with fobs

I guess it depends on where you're diving. So far, I've only done quarry diving. I stash my keys in a side pocket of my gear bag, hidden under clothes.
I guess I could stash my spare key in the little zippered pocket of my drysuit undies, but I've never remembered to bring it while diving. |

My old car, I had a spare key, without the electronics (it only worked on the doors), that I wore on a necklace, and locked the keys inside the car.
Our new car doesn't have a key, and if the key fob is near the car it will unlock when you grab the door handle, so I am still working that one out. |

Like others have said, depends on the year and type of key. Key pad cars are great, lock the keys inside and forget about them. I used to just bury mine under gear and clothes when I went diving, unnless you're in Mexico (it happened to me). Sometimes when you surface there, the "dive master" and his staff might be rummaging through your personal belongings

I have one of those door only keys that I have lashed to the inside of my wet notes notebook. The wet notes go inside of my thigh pocket.

Google aquapac keymaster. Or inside a pocket under my drysuit. Or dig a hole in the ground and bury the keys. Don't forget where you dug the hole.

I've got a spare key (no chip, just the metal key) I had made on a loop of 550 cord. I can either bolt snap it into my pouch or just shove it down in my wetsuit somewhere.
In the past I've taken my key itself off the ring and hid it in my wheel well, but I don't really like doing that... |

Non-chipped/fob key:
Tied to inside pocket of BC with para-cord. If no pocket, para-cord necklace under wetsuit. Big arse keys with fob etc. Old Princeton Tec Dive light with guts removed. These are the ones with magnetic switches, so there are no holes to worry about, only the Oring on the lens. Can be had very cheapish. I paid $5 for mine and they actually still work, just dull. Light is tied, with guess what, para-cord to bc pocket on the inside. They will be slightly buoyant used in this manner. |

For my truck, I keep a door-only key on a stainless steel key ring attached to a zipper on my wetsuit and put the keys in the console.
I also have a "can" with an o-ring sealed lid and a molded lanyard loop that I can put a fob or chip key in if necessary. I added a lead slug to it to make it negative and tie it in my BC pocket with paracord. |

Just keep them in the center console and lock the car.

My friends surf and kiteboard, and they all throw the keys in the strut where the spring meets the spring cup so the tire blocks seeing the keys

I usually keep my keys in a safe part of my dive bag, with cell phone and sunglasses.

When beach diving, a spare tied to my BC inside a pocket and another spare tied in my pocket of my shorts under my wetsuit.
On the boat, just in the backpack in a drybox. |

I use a lockbox like the ones for vacant houses and whatnot and lock it to my trailer tie ins. Works great.

I have a carabiner clip on my set of truck keys. When I go diving I just hook my keys to something up inside the wheel well or hook them to something under the car with the carabiner so they are not visible from the average passerby-er. Hope this helps

Most of my watersports involved keys that could get wet, so had them on a d ring. New car-no answer yet, have been unable to get a surf key. New F250 truck has keypad, so lock them inside.
That said, my experiance was paddling. Every paddler I knew had their vehicles broken into eventually. So not 100% comfortable locking them in the truck. I miss having dumb keys sometimes. |

They either get lock in the truck box on the bed of the truck and that key is on me or goes in fanny pack with EDC that stays inside Zodiac.

Inside a dry box instead the gear box in the boat with my wallet and phone.
We only dive local out of our own boat. |
