Diving is kinda expensive. Not a lot of low-end stuff related to it.

What kind of gauges does he have? Does he have a dive computer? Expensive, but nice

Is any of his stuff old and worn out? What shape is his dive bag in?

Does he have a camera? Underwater case?

My mom couldn’t stand the basic mouth pieces that came with her regulators. She got some soft silicone ones, far more comfortable.

Fish identification books. Big old encyclopedias, lots of pictures. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/686845/8576271.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/686845/8576271.page GMT Any divers here?

If he doesn't have the Flippers that are in two parts at the fin, get them for him. They are AMAZING.

You're talking about split fins?
Give them to the wrong sort of diver and they'll beat you to death with them....
Many serious divers wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

As to the question, how about a hard hat dive experience using the seibe gorman standard diving dress (the big copper helmet)
He might enjoy that.
Or if you are near any of the sea life centers they do shark tank dives.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/686845/8576709.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/686845/8576709.page GMT Re:Any divers here? Need some help

If you're diving in certain situations, like wreck penetration, cavern/cave, or anywhere with high levels of silt, they tend to cause the silt to bloom causing total loss ov visibility, which in an enclosed environment can be deadly.
You can't really do a proper frog kick with split fins, you need a stiff solid blade for that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/686845/8577415.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/686845/8577415.page GMT
