I have added in some old and new favorites for all those ocean lovers, along with a mixture of items to suit everyone’s budget and really help you find the best scuba diver gift there is!

Start with Your Local Dive Shop

If you are buying a scuba diving gift for an already certified scuba diver, there is a good chance that they might be known at their local dive shop. Why not take a trip down there to ask if they know the person in question and if they have noticed anything he/she may have had their eye on in the shop. It is a great way to find out exactly what diver gift to get and also to support your local community!

Within the world of diving, there are scuba accessories that every diver needs and then there’s the really cool scuba gifts that we all want! Staff members within the dive shop would be able to help you assemble a scuba gifts set of the necessities. Take a look at the below for some ideas on scuba diving gifts;

• Defog
• O-rings
• A gear-marking pen
• Mask strap
• Scuba diver decal

If you have a higher budget, why not look at getting scuba gifts such as a dry bag, dry case or an underwater slate, all which are very useful. Other thoughtful diver gifts would be a dive light or a small tank light.

 

Gifts for Beginner Scuba Divers

If your scuba diver gift is for someone that loves the idea of scuba diving but hasn’t yet had the chance to try it, the best scuba diving gift would be a dive experience. Some divers would actually prefer a scuba diver gift experience given the choice over other things. I understand that. For these type of people, ask your local diver center if they offer private classes or what dive excursions they have available.

Gift Vouchers for Discover Scuba Diving® Session

Ask your local dive centre if they offer any gift cards or vouchers for dive courses or Discover Scuba Diving® pool sessions. This will allow your special someone to Dive In and get their passion for the underwater world started, which is ultimately the best scuba diving gift.

If you have a holiday coming up or just know that the person you are buying for has always wanted to do a diving certification then this is the perfect gift for them! Why not surprise then with a scuba diver gift experience. PADI offer an array of online eLearning courses all the way up to Divemaster or Instructor. Gift passes can be customized and redeemed at any PADI® Dive Center or Resort worldwide.

Gifts for Advanced Scuba Divers

Good scuba divers are constantly learning. Why not treat your advanced diver to their next certification? Or even a specialty course? Advance scuba divers are always looking for the next best thing. Whether this be the best dive location or the newest dive computer. Whatever your budget, there will be something scuba related that they would love to receive as a scuba gift!

Treat Them to Their Next Scuba Diving Adventure

Having already experienced the thrills of exploring the underwater world, certified divers will know that there is so much more to discover. Help your scuba diver improve their skills by treating them to another PADI dive course, making a great scuba diver gift.

Digital Underwater Photographer Course

If you have ever noticed that diver friend who shares underwater photos or videos, they might love something photography related. If they haven’t already, why not treat them to a Digital Underwater Photography Course? Or maybe a new GoPro camera? If they already have one of these they might like a floating handle for it. Or better yet – some cool scuba gear like a telescoping, floating pole for shooting those hard to reach places.

Scuba T-shirts and other Clothing

One of the best things about being a scuba diver, is telling people that you’re a scuba diver. Why not help get that conversation started with a unique piece of clothing like this I Breathe Underwater What’s your Superpower tee? Or this cool Dive Dive Dive Hoodie? Some of the best and most affordable scuba diving gift ideas are clothing.

For something a little more subtle, why not treat them to some ocean themed jewellery. Or for the men, some cool Scuba gifts cuff links.
