Shopping for the scuba woman in your life? If anyone’s going to know what she might like, it’s us, the world’s largest scuba diving community for women! From stocking fillers to scuba treats, we’ve got your full guide to the best scuba diving gifts for her.
Some of these are currently on incredible holiday offers with our friends over at Scuba.com, so now’s the time to get ready for gifting!
Note – whilst we’ve called this “Gifts for Her”, many of the gifts on this list can be enjoyed by divers of any gender.
Scuba Stocking Fillers – Up to $20
Scuba divers LOVE a trinket or accessory, and there are so many mini gifts to stuff their stocking with.
Mini Tank O-Ring Kit
There’s nothing worse than prepping for a dive and hearing that familiar hiss (or pop!) of a busted O-ring. Complete with assorted sized O-rings and a handy pick, this tiny tank on a keyring could quite literally save their next dive.
Stream2Sea Mask Defog
Another dive ruiner? A foggy mask. Give the gift of clear vision with our favourite Stream2Sea Mask Defog. We’ve put this stuff through its paces over the years, and it’s a familiar sight on our Girls that Scuba Trips for good reason!
Aqua Rubber Octo Holder
Every diver needs to stay streamlined underwater, so help your giftee keep their kit tidy with this octo holder. It comes in 5 colours, so bonus points if you look at pictures of their kit to coordinate! Can’t find their colours? A diver will never say no to black scuba gear.
Bigblue Multi-Color Rainbow Marker Light
If you’ve got a night dive lover in your life, they’ll love this. A marker light helps divers to stay safe and be seen on night dives, and this one has a huge variety of colours to choose from.
Rip Tie Hair Tie
We love these handy scuba hair accessories. Any long-haired diver will know the struggle of the familiar post-dive fight with a hair brush. These tangle-free hair accessories will keep their tresses tamed!
Scuba Treats – Up to $100
Scuba shopping for someone special? These next gifts could brighten their dives (quite literally), or save them from every diver’s worst fear – travelling home with a damp wetsuit!
Spacefish Army Divewear
With their vibrant colours and fun prints, Spacefish Army creates some of our favourite women’s divewear. We love the blues and purples of their Cosmic Whale Shorts. If you want to go all out, treat them to the matching Zip Rashguard, headband or socks. Their newest print is one for the more understated divers – we love the subtle gold-on-black of their new Ocean Mandala Leggings.
OrcaTorch D520 Dive Light
You can’t go wrong with this powerful yet compact dive light. This palm-sized light is the ideal companion for brightening up murky corners or peeking under crevices in search of cute critters.
SurfDry Wetsuit Dryer
There are few things worse as a diver than trying to pack damp gear to travel home, or stepping into a damp suit on consecutive days of diving. With the handy new innovation from SurfDry, you can give the gift of a dry wetsuit. This compact system plugs into the ankles of wetsuits or booties, drying them overnight. It’s the sort of gift many divers would never think to buy for themselves, but would definitely improve the quality of their dive travel.
Scuba Splurges – $200+
If you really want to treat the scuba diver in your life, these are the best scuba diving gifts for her!
DiveVolk SeaTouch 4 Max Plus Underwater Smartphone Housing
It’s no secret that we love the DiveVolk housing – we use it ourselves to capture content on all of our Girls that Scuba Trips! Divers always want to share the wonders of the underwater world with their landlocked friends and family, and this smartphone housing will allow them to do just that by turning their phone into a powerful underwater camera. It’s compatible with a huge variety of smartphones, making it an ideal gift for any diver.
Bare Evoke 3mm Wetsuit
Scuba equipment is incredibly personal so we don’t often recommend specific dive gear in gift guides. However, the Bare Evoke Wetsuit is definitely an exception to this rule. It’s widely loved by women in our dive community, with praise for its stretchiness, the variety of sizes offered, and the way it’s smartly designed to fit women’s bodies. The 3mm thickness would be great for tropical divers, but if your giftee is looking for more versatility, the 5mm will keep them warm in a wider variety of dive destinations.
Garmin inReach Mini 2 & Dive Case
Nothing says “I love you” quite like looking out for someone’s safety, and this is the ultimate safety device to gift to a scuba diver. We’re big advocates of divers carrying a PLB, and the Garmin inReach Mini 2 is one of our favourite recommendations.
The inReach Mini allows divers to contact emergency services via satellite if they find themselves in a sticky situation – and it has the same benefits for any land-based hobbies, too. It can also be used for two-way communication in non-emergency situations, which can be useful for keeping in touch in remote locations with limited service.
