It has been awhile since I've had a cast...but I used to get a plastic trash bag that was large enough to fit over the cast and a rubber band or duct tape to seal it around my leg. I would avoid immersing it by using a board spanned over the foot of the tub that the cast rested on, if it was a half leg cast.

wrap it in a trash bag.at tape the end of the bagto your leg...still be careful.. but it will remain mostly dry...
