Does anyone have any recommendations?
Currently I put my whole camera bag inside a large dry bag.
I saw this http://www.over-board.co.uk/waterproof-slr-camera-bag.html so could just take the DSLR and zoom lens but wondered if it is padded enough?

I've been using an aquapac bag for years. Mine is older but latest version is here:

It's a different approach the overboard one in that it lets you shoot photos without taking it out of the bag. This is pretty handy if you want to take photos in rough conditions - I've got some great freeze-shots of waves coming over the side! It isn't padded but you can probably put your camera in its normal bag with this still around it. It's a bit hairy the first time you put your DSLR into the water but you soon build up trust!

Jon, Thanks for the link. I'm now thinking of

If it was rough I'm likely to be busy with rescue duties...
