Give the Gift of Adventure this Christmas
Written by Melanie Hwa,30 November 2023
It’s Christmas season again! And as we draw 2023 to a close, it is time we wind down and spend precious time with our loved ones. And of course, that includes giving them the best gift they deserve for all they have been through with you in the past year!
Of course, there are loads of different types of gifts to give, but how about giving them a gift of adventure this year? OK. Hear me out:
1. Introduce them to a whole new world!
Nothing is more exciting and enriching as introducing someone to a brand new experience – what more for scuba diving, you would be introducing them to a brand new world! Though some of them would feel scared, uncomfortable or even angry with you at first, trust me (and the process), they will soon thank you once they get more comfortable over time.
The possibilities of what they would see in the underwater world – would be all thanks to you!

2. Memories to last for life
Imagine the memories they would create that would last a lifetime together with you! Their first turtle encounter, their first night dive and all their many firsts to come – the experience and memories to come is something invaluable and irreplaceable.

3. Connect with nature
With scuba diving, it allows us to connect with nature beyond any other activity is able to. Imagine being up close and personal with the biggest whale sharks and manta rays – to spending hours looking at the tiniest nudibranch and shrimp cohabitate and interact

It is encounters like these that would help instill a strong sense of respect and connection with nature.
4. Its valid for a lifetime!
All PADI licence is valid for a lifetime! No renewal fees required! Yes! You read that right! So even if life happens and you haven’t dived for a while – all you need is to do a quick refresher. There are no hidden/ yearly fees to keep your licence active.
We have the perfect gifts for you. Check out our Experience Scuba Diving session and our PADI Open Water licence if you’d like to introduce your loved ones to scuba diving. Or if they are a diver already – do check out our 2024 dive trips! – our key highlight trips would be Pulau Weh, Anilao (for those macro lovers), Maratua and Raja Ampat!
