3 Volume Book Set: Reef Fish, Reef Creature and Reef Coral

3 volume set of reef books

This is the classic reference set for identification. I have had this set for years (has since been updated) and refer to it often. It is the bible among divers for identification. You can also buy each book individually if you don't want the set. This particular set is for the Caribbean, Bahamas and Florida. There are also books available for other areas of the world. If your diver doesn't have these, he is sure to love it. No more wondering "What the heck is that?" after a dive!

Check out this 3 volume set here.

GoPro Hero9 - Waterproof

OK, this is one of those scuba gift ideas that would be great for just about anyone. It is all the rage - and understandably so. The GoPro cameras get great reviews and are able to easily capture his underwater life (plus, of course, his topside life if he wants). He can take photos or videos with it. It is light and compact making it a perfect accessory to take on those diving trips. And since we spend so much on diving, having a way to relive those moments makes that dive last longer! (Note: This GoPro is waterproof up to 33 feet; a housing is needed to be able to take the camera scuba diving (see below)).

Here is a housing (waterproof up to 148 feet) and filters set to get those great shots while diving


Portable Luggage Scale

Portable luggage scale

A useful and practical gift for the scuba diver - or any traveler for that matter, guy or girl. With all the restrictions and fees on luggage these days, weighing your luggage before you leave home is a must do. With all the gear divers carry, it is easy to go over the weight limit. Now he can know exactly what his luggage weighs and adjust accordingly. Saving him money and the hassle of rearranging his stuff at the airport. You know what a pain that is! This scale has a 110 lb. capacity and has an easy to read LCD backlit display.

Get the details on this luggage scale here.

Gift Card Specifically For Scuba Divers

gift card for scuba divers

When all else fails and you can't think of anything, a gift card can come to the rescue. However, instead of a generic gift card, get him one to a store that is specifically for divers. They carry pretty much anything a scuba diver could want or dream of.  Give him the card and let him pick out his perfect scuba diving present. Since it is for a scuba store, he knows you were thinking of him when you picked it out.
