The sheer number of gift options available can make it difficult and even overwhelming to pick the right gift for your scuba diver. We have compiled 50 fantastic gift ideas for scuba divers. They are broken down into the following categories: books, DVDs and food, drinks, practical diving gear, accessories and clothing.
A cool gift idea for scuba divers is fin spring straps
Fin-on and off are made easier by fin spring straps. When in a dry suit or in a boat, fins can be difficult to get on and off. These straps make fins much more comfortable and make a great gift idea for the scuba diver you love.
Spring fin straps are available in a variety of sizes and materials. You can choose from lighter-weight straps with bungee strings or heavier-duty straps made of marine-grade stainless springs.
Cover for a personalized leather journal
The journal cover is customized with the recipient's name or handpainted with a favorite animal. It has space for notes and certification cards, and the high-quality veg-tanned leather will stand up to years of use. It also comes with waterproof reflective diver labels. These will allow the diver to easily identify his equipment. The labels feature a 3M adhesive that won't easily peel or rip.
A great gift idea for divers who are environmentalists is to give them something that supports nature. If you can't find a gift that helps the environment, look for a sustainable lifestyle store. A wide range of gift ideas will be available for scuba divers.
Nomadix Tie-Die Blanket
Nomadix Tie DIE Blanketing could make a great gift for scuba divers. The blanket is waterproof and made from recycled plastic bottles. It will not only protect your diver from the sun, wind and cold, but it also makes donations to non-profit environmental groups.
A gift that makes your diver feel more confident and comfortable is possible. A Nomadix Tie-Die Blanket will keep him warm during cold water dives and will keep him dry in the summer months. You can personalize this unique gift for scuba divers with a message or date.
Suunto EON Steel Dive computer
The Suunto EON Steel Dive computer offers an advanced design that helps the diver adjust the way they view information. The large color display is easy to read under any conditions. It can display four different views. Divers can choose to display air consumption rate and surface consumption time on the screen. You can also choose between text and graphical views. Another feature that is very cool is the digital compass.
It is very easy to maintain the Suunto EON Steel Dive Computer. It needs to be rinsed in fresh water after each dive and then dried thoroughly. You should not leave your computer in the water for more than a few minutes as it can drain the battery. It should also be serviced every 500 hours. Suunto maintains service centers in all parts of the world.
Suunto Eco Drive Divewatch
Suunto Eco-Drive Dive watches might be the perfect gift for your friend who is keen to go scuba diving. The unique design of this solar-powered dive watch means it doesn't need a battery. It also has a black dial with white characters and a luminous material on the bezel to improve visibility in dim lighting. This watch also features a screw down crown and a screw back case.
A dive watch is a fashionable gift idea for scuba divers because it looks good underwater. These watches not only make subaquatic adventures more enjoyable, but they are also functional. Many divers now use a dive computer to perform many of the same functions as a watch. It can measure depth, time, and can even help scuba divers plan their ascents.
