21. In a waterproof carrying bag: a flexible body
of water-impervious material having a generally cylindrical
side wall and an internal storage cavity, a semi-rigid collar
at one end of the body having a laterally deformable neck
portion defining an opening which provides access to the

by deformation of the neck portion to accommodate an object of
greater lateral extent than the unextended opening, a closure
member threadedly secured to the neck portion for covering the
opening and holding the neck portion in a configuration
conforming to the closure member, a sealing gasket carried by
the closure member and adapted to provide a water-tight seal
between the closure member and the collar when the closure
member is threaded onto the neck portion and the neck portion
is held in the conforming configuration by the closure member,
a tether connected to the closure member for retaining the
closure member to the body when the closure member is removed
from the neck portion, a transparent viewing port in the side
wall of the body for visual observation of contents in the
internal cavity, a plurality of grommets affixed to the side
wall and having rings for attachment of objects to the bag, a
carrying strap removably connected to two of the rings, and a
