A buddy of mine has used these plastic heater bags, the kind you see 
people putting in there ski boots, for camping etc. and loves them.  
These are available in your local camping store.
I don't know how deep you can go but he dives conventional sport 
depths up to 130' with no leakage.

All in all I dive dry all the time.  It is definently a comfort level 
above.
