The holidays are upon us and in only a few days we’ll be destined for the aisles of department stores stacking unnecessary junk into our carts along with paper to wrap it all up in. A month later, semi-enthused family members and friends will reopen the gifts only to secretly wonder what the allure to gifts is anymore.
I have put together a list of the top ten new exciting gifts to consider giving to your recipients that are exciting, interactive and rewarding. Giving these gifts will definitely set a high standard! This is a ten part series highlighting exciting local ideas with the beginner, comfortable and advanced adventurer in mind.
Opening up this gift reveals:
Tis the season for down periscope views.
(Scuba diving for the beginner and previously certified.) (1 of 10 in a series)
A unique idea happening right here in Connecticut is the gift of scuba diving.
Whether your recipient is a curious newcomer to diving, a certified fresh diver or a long time experienced diver, an adventure for all is waiting for them in central Connecticut.
Several nights a week, groups of local residents all with a similar passion for the water, gather at a
community indoor pool and partake in educational classes of scuba.
Scuba Shack of Connecticut, a local scuba diving facility and training center located in Rocky Hill, CT, hosts an abundance of classes for every possible level of diver. Not only do they offer the basic
introductory scuba diving certification but they offer technical and state of the art courses tailored for the diver wanting to become more comfortable in the water. They offer a new way to look at diving and finally be able to understand the evolution and the technology that is finally available to make scuba diving now the safest, most enjoyable activity in the water.
A class I recently participated in was the
buoyancy program. This was a unique opportunity to learn about the newest evolution in diving equipment and theories. You will walk away from this class feeling more confident and experienced with techniques and more comfortable finding your “trim” in the water. The instructors are vividly interactive and compelling.
Giving this gift is one of the most exciting 6 weeks your diver will experience! Once a week they will gather for class training including knowledge and in-pool techniques. Imagine being able to no longer be weighed down with lead weights and learning your own buoyancy control simply by breathing techniques.
For the timid or for children, be sure to ask about snorkeling lessons as well.
I recommend this as a top unique gift for several reasons.
Take your skills to the islands next summer.
*During the slow, cold months of winter, enjoy a warm indoor pool for an interactive experience that will keep you challenged, intrigued and looking forward to your next lesson.
*A way to practice or get certified before a vacation or honeymoon.
*A new way to meet other divers and learn from the top instructors in the industry.
*An activity to do that will enrich and challenge you, a way to wake you up from a dull day at work.
BEGINNER: Introductory Open Water Scuba Certification
IN THE MIDDLE: Buoyancy 1 & 2 ; Advanced Open Water
EXPERIENCED: Buoyancy 1 & 2 ; Master Scuba
After completing one of these courses, be ready for one of the most exciting opportunities in your life.
Vacations to the islands, diving wrecks in the Long Island sound and even snorkeling around your local lake
are all within reach with reassurance and professional teaching.
This holiday season skip the tie for Dad and the slippers for Mom.
Once they go scuba, they'll never look at the water the same!
