British UAE residents spent a whopping $1,095 USD each on gifts and other festive necessities, last Christmas, according to The National. While a box of chocolates and a beauty gift set are memorable Christmas gifts, they won’t be remembered for years to come. But, by choosing a gift experience where the recipient gets to dive with sharks in a 10 million liter tank, you can be sure that your present will stand out from the crowd. Furthermore, it will ignite a love for diving in the recipient that they never knew they had.
Getting started
Every diver has to start somewhere. You can’t simply go out into the big blue ocean and expect to know what you’re doing in a sea full of tropical fish and 440 different species of sharks. This is why a diving with sharks gift experience is the perfect starting point for anyone who has ever considered taking up diving. During the experience, the gift recipient will spend valuable time with a professional dive instructor. They will assist with techniques for breathing underwater, teach key safety skills and help with scuba equipment in the confines of a cage. Once these basics are taught, your loved one will have the time of their life in the large aquarium, close up with the sharks.
Sparking a new passion
Once your loved one has enjoyed their diving with sharks experience, they’ll be itching to get in the water again. Scuba diving is a great next move and a certified gift experience can be gifted to your loved one on another special occasion to support their love of diving. This is a great way to get to grips with the sea and will provide the certifications required in order to be able to rent professional diving gear. From there, the opportunity to freely explore the UAE’s glorious diving sites will be plentiful. Dibba Rock in Fujairah offers the opportunity to witness turtles while diving. Meanwhile, blacktip reef sharks are more commonly seen here over anywhere else. Two whale sharks were even spotted back in 2016. Therefore, unforgettable sightings are highly probable.
Turning your gift into a career
Imagine if the gift experience you so kindly gifted to your loved one at Christmas, led to them taking on a whole new career path? Scuba divers who fall in love with the recreational sport can become members of the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) following successful completion of theory and practical course. 60% of certified scuba divers in the world are certified by PADI. As the association is recognized throughout the world, a career as a professional diver can be started anywhere, and it will be your gift that started it all.
You’ll be amazed at how much value a diving with sharks gift experience will give a loved one. Therefore, when you’re hunting for Christmas gifts this festive season, consider giving this amazing Dreamdays gift experience. After all, the life experiences and future career potential it offers are second to none.
