I’ve spent most of my adult life saving up every dollar I could possibly find so that I could travel the world - I love the outdoors. While sitting on a beach in Bali (Indonesia), I grew fed up with hiding my valuables in the sand every time I wanted to get in the water.
My wallet would get full of sand, my cards would get scratched, notes would get wet and there were even times I forgot where my hiding spot was.
So I decided to do something about it.
Bringing together cutting-edge waterproof technology and sustainable materials in an ultra-secure - yet sleek - design, I’m excited to introduce: Submerge - The Adventure Wallet & Card Holder.
The Perfect Companion For Every Adventure
No matter what your passion, no matter how extreme your adventure, Submerge gives you complete peace of mind.
A compact card holder for your cash, cards and keys, coupled with a sleek waterproof wallet ensures complete security and protection for your valuables, strapped securely on your arm at all times, no matter what.
Never Leave Your Valuables Behind Ever Again
Traditional wallets aren’t designed to be carried in the ocean or exposed to the elements - Submerge is.
Whether you’re out in the water or up a mountain peak, there are some things that just can’t be left behind.
Forget about leaving your car keys, house keys, credit cards or cash lying about at risk of theft or loss…
Take them with you and get on with what you love doing.
Whatever you do, wherever you go, Submerge will be right there with you.
Submerge Wallet
- Extra strong, durable, and 100% waterproof (ipx8 standard)
- Quick-drying outer layer
- Multiple ways to safely secure to your body and clothing, suitable for any activity. Waist strap attachment also available as a product Add On.
- Silky-smooth feel and discreet design
- Full detachable and adjustable strap - so that the wallet can be wearable or can fit snug in your pocket
- Can be attached to a carabiner to cling to your trousers - therefore avoiding pickpockets on your travels
- Fully secure strap that will not fall off - the velcro that we’ve used is secured twice
- It can be submerged up to a depth of 3m. It can be fully submerged underwater.
Submerge Card Holder
- Holds up to 10 cards, with plenty of space for cash and keys
- Hidden pockets for those items that don’t need to be on show
- Can be used on it’s own as an all-round wallet solution (no need to keep swapping cards around!)
- As minimalist as viably possible (we know how annoying it is to have a clunky leather wallet)
Use with the Submerge Wallet or on its own.
Made from high quality elastic and Vegan-approved faux suede, the Submerge card holder holds up to 10 cards across three divided sections, with two hidden pockets for notes, coins and keys.
Lightweight, sleek, and small enough to fit inside any pocket. It is as small as we could have possibly made it - it is the size of a credit card.
Unparalleled Design, Ready For The Elements
WALLET
A perfect companion for any outdoor activity.
Our pocket-less pouch is built of TPU with a YKK airtight waterproof zipper, ensuring that your valuables stay dry at all times.
Run in the rain, swim in the ocean, climb up a mountain. Whatever your activity of choice, just strap your wallet to your arm and you’re good to go.
Environmental Commitments
It’s not often you see a wallet designed with the environment in mind...
Every part of Submerge is 100% degradable and recyclable with zero compromise made on reliability and durability.
Long-lasting design
Submerge features an airtight waterproof zipper, with heat-sealed seams, ensuring that your valuables stay dry at all times.
Sustainable materials
The waterproof wallet is made from TPU, a bridge between rubber and plastics, which is degradable and non-toxic.
The card holder is made from high quality elastic and Vegan-approved faux suede.
Both products are vegan: a true alternative to traditional leather wallets.
(Plus, traditional leather wallets are bulky and wear away quickly. The Submerge wallet is truly durable.)
Hi - I’m Ronan...
I created Submerge to solve a very real problem that we all face:
Keeping our valuables safe while submerging ourselves in adrenaline-driven activities!
We're not raising funds through Kickstarter to learn, or to put together a team...
Rather, we’re launching on Kickstarter to build the Submerge community and together - with our early backers, like you - bring the best feedback and ideas to Submerge.
It’s a complex product and the sampling process alone took over a year to get the product to the quality that it is today.
The good news is, Submerge is officially ready for the global market.
We have already researched the logistics required to fulfil orders across the globe and are ready to do this in a variety of countries and regions.
Thank YOU for putting your trust in us, it’s supporters like you who will help make Submerge the no.1 choice for adventurers when it comes to peace of mind.

I've been turning ideas into businesses since leaving school. Watch my TEDx talk to learn a little bit more about my journey. I've built 5 businesses so far and have sold 2 of them! With your help, I'm sure we can built Submerge into a successful brand!

Frequently Asked Questions
When will I get my wallet?
All Submerge wallets and card holders are ready to go and due to be sent out worldwide this July 2021. By securing your order today, you’ll have it in your hands by the end of July.
Can I use the card holder on its own?
Yes - the card holder has been designed to be used both with the wallet and without it.
On its own it has multiple advantages over regular cardholders, storing up to 10 cards, plus a secret space for cash and even room for keys.
It’s small enough to fit in your pocket, and with a sleek design looks the part.
How waterproof is this?
Submerge wallets are built to ipx8 standard, which means they’re 100% waterproof when fully submerged underwater up to 3 metres.
Will this rip off my arm?
No - we’ve put this wallet through months of rigorous testing and can safely say that so long as it’s applied to your arm correctly, it will remain securely fit and won’t rip off due to strong winds, waves, or getting it caught on something. The velcro used on our strap is high quality and is secured twice.
Exactly what items fit inside?
The purpose of the wallet is to attach to your arm, whereas the card holder itself has space for up to 10 cards, cash and a set of keys. The card holder fits snugly into the wallet, which keeps everything inside safe and dry.
What materials have been used to build this?
The Submerge wallet is built of TPU with an YKK airtight waterproof-zipper, while the card holder is made from Vegan-approved faux suede and high quality elastic.
All parts are fully degradable and recyclable, making it one of the most environmentally friendly wallets out there.
Can I fit my phone inside?
We wanted to keep this wallet as small as we possibly could, so that its size does not become a nuisance. This wallet is designed for your valuables that you simply cannot get away from - the bare essentials.
The Submerge wallet and cardholder is our first product launch, but we're working on a phone holder behind the scenes and have already started the design process for this.
If you join our mailing list you'll be one of the first to know about the phone holder in the future!
Can I get a discount if I order 10+ wallets?
If you are a retailer or are simply looking to purchase a large number of wallets to give to your friends and family we can offer you a bespoke quote. Please contact us at [email protected]
