Very submersible. Just give it some protection in surf (as in no direct pressure). West Marine has a nice non-waterproof case for basic protection that is not cumbersome and remains pliable in a pocket, etc. As far as not being cheap, what's your life worth man! And, how can you say you are part of the water-travelling community if you can't stay in touch? As for weather reports, ditto the previous. Do yourself a favour, order one and adjust your spending plan on other budgetary items.
