I don't think I'd be worried as much about water as I would about damage to it from hitting something. To make it waterproof simply put a plastic bag around it and tape it so the only opening is where the tube comes out, and even then you can tape that up pretty darn good.

I'm just not sure how to make sure it's protected if the raft tips and you hit a rock to grab onto.

One last thing to make sure of is you use enough tape (the IV 3000 tape is great for this) to make sure that over the trip the moisture/water doesn't cause the site to come out of you.

Good luck and I'm trying to think if that is the same river I rafted down on my first trip. I'll have to do some research, but that name is really super familiar.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
