If you’ve got about $1,600 to spend on a scuba Christmas gift, I’ll be honest—there are a ton of great options for divers. You could put together a brand new backplate and wing, grab a new reg set, or even go with a dive computer and transmitter. All of that stuff is awesome, and it’ll absolutely upgrade somebody’s kit. But in this video, I tell you what I really think is the best $1,600 gift idea: it’s not for the diver—it’s for the non-diver. I’m talking about a full Open Water scuba package that gets someone certified, gets them the basic equipment they need (a total snorkeling system like mask/snorkel, plus exposure and fit items like wetsuit, boots, and fins), and even includes a 3-day trip down to the Florida Springs. The springs are crystal clear, the temperature stays the same year-round, and it makes an ideal place to knock out training—whether you cash it in right away or wait until spring or summer. If you want a gift that can genuinely change someone’s life and get them into the sport, this is it.
