So, you’re trying to find a gift for someone who is already scuba certified? How about the Master Diver Package? It’s an easy gift that keeps on giving. To reach Master Diver status, a diver must log a minimum of 50 dives and complete four specialty courses plus Stress and Rescue. And since you can’t do the diving for them, giving the gift of specialty classes is the way to go.
The great thing about scuba diving is that no diver’s journey is the same. There are tons of specialty courses to choose from, which means you can pick and choose what classes you think your diver would like best. Do they like sharks? Then they’d enjoy the shark ecology class. Are they passionate about photography? Then the underwater photography class would be perfect for them. How about hunting? The spearfishing class would suit them best. History buff? Shipwreck diving would be an absolute dream.
