Scubaverse Christmas Gift Guide
Struggling to find the perfect gift for that special scuba diver in your life? Look no further, Team Scubaverse have searched far and wide to bring you this season’s must have Christmas gifts!
Blue Orb Ammonite System Torches
£100 – £200
Ammonite System torches are revered the world over. Every part of their design is carefully thought through from the tactile feel of the body to the ’no-switch’ functionality of turning each torch on and off.
The heads are finely machined aluminium with a multiple o-ring sealing system and the machined delrin body fits with the smoothest of actions. A simple twist on/twist off action means that, regardless of depth, the action remains consistently smooth and easy to operate.
The Ammonite System handheld torches give outputs ranging from 260 lumens to 1000 lumens and and give the perfect burn time for the function they are designed for, either as a backup torch, primary torch or a handheld travel torch, operating for up to 7 hours without the need to charge or replace the batteries. With a 200m depth rating, the torches are designed to support the most experienced of divers or allow new divers the opportunity to purchase a piece of equipment that will remain in your dive bag for years to come, regardless of where you decide to take your diving.
The old adage of ‘buy right, buy once’ has never been more appropriate than it is in the case of these high quality torches. Spoil yourself, or someone you love this Christmas and give them something that will last forever.
