Christmas Gifts CHEATSHEET for your BEST Scuba Buddy!
‘Tis the season for giving and yes, we know – gift giving can be quite stressful! So here’s a very simple cheat sheet, if you need some help! Just follow the numbers. If your best scuba buddy already has them, then move on to the next number! We are sure you’ll find one that fits the bill! Happy shopping!
1. The ESSENTIALS
a. Scuba Masks, Mouthpiece, Mask Straps
This is always the basic most fundamental essential any diver could have! And the best thing is, one could never have too many of this too! Check out starter promo packs here!
b. Wetsuit, Rash Guards, Vest, Hoodie, Gloves
Another one that no divers would complain about having too much of! These items are essential to keeping a diver comfortable and warm underwater. So, if they have a trip coming up, perhaps these would be a good item to have! Check out some of our scuba wears here!
c. Fins, Booties, Socks
Having the very first fins is always an exciting one for a diver. It is considered one of the first bigger purchases which would add value and comfort to a dive! Check out some of our fins here!
2. The BIG purchases
a. Dive computers
The first big purchase that all divers should make would be a dive computer for safety reasons. While this is under the BIG purchase category – the market offers a very wide range of options! From budget friendly CREST CR-4 to the Garmin range – all offering great functionality and suitability for divers. Check out some of our dive computers here!
b. Regulators & BCDs
Having your very own regulator and BCDs make a huge difference to your dive. No more leaky & moldy gears, no more needing to recalibrate your weight at the beginning of each dive, amazing airflow through your balanced regulator and of course you would complete your look underwater! Check out some of our regulators & BCDs here!
c. Camera
What better way to keep your memories than to immortalize them with a camera! Check out our range of cameras & casings here!
