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.

Far from the usual tourist trails, on a small island in the Northern Moluccas, lies a place of extraordinary beauty: Nabucco’s Spice Island Resort. Nestled between dense tropical jungle and a powdery white sand beach, the resort offers a peaceful escape immersed in nature at its purest. With panoramic views of the turquoise sea and direct access to some of Indonesia’s most untouched reefs, it’s a dream come true for those seeking tranquility above and adventure below the surface.
The resort features just 16 spacious beachfront bungalows, each only steps from the ocean. At its heart is a beautifully designed open-air restaurant, built entirely from natural materials, where guests can enjoy a diverse selection of Indonesian and international cuisine.
But what truly sets Nabucco’s Spice Island Resort apart is the underwater world that surrounds it. The reefs of the Northern Moluccas are among the most pristine and biodiverse in all of Indonesia – and remarkably, they remain largely untouched. Thanks to the remote location, dive boats are often the only ones around, giving divers the rare privilege of exploring vibrant coral gardens, dramatic walls, and colorful drop-offs in complete solitude.
Marine life here is nothing short of spectacular. Blacktip reef sharks are spotted on nearly every dive, while nutrient-rich walls attract sea turtles, schools of jacks, and bumphead parrotfish. For macro enthusiasts, the area is a treasure trove of rare and photogenic species, including pygmy seahorses, ghost pipefish, nudibranchs, frogfish, leaf scorpionfish, and several types of octopus and shrimp.
One of the region’s most extraordinary highlights is the Halmahera Walking Shark, a rare species endemic to this part of Indonesia. First described by scientists only in recent years, this small shark is unlike anything else in the ocean. Rather than swimming, it uses its muscular pectoral and pelvic fins to “walk” along the seabed. These elusive yet fascinating creatures are most often encountered on night dives – and witnessing one in the wild is a truly unforgettable experience.
The reefscapes surrounding Spice Island Resort are equally impressive. Flourishing hard coral formations spread across the seabed, interspersed with vivid sponges, large sea fans, and colorful soft corals. The biodiversity is astonishing, and the visual spectacle underwater is a dream for photographers. Most importantly, the reefs here are healthy—a rare treasure in today’s marine environment. With minimal tourism and careful management, the ecosystem remains intact, vibrant, and teeming with life.
Nabucco’s Spice Island Resort is more than just a dive destination – it’s a retreat for those seeking peace and a haven for underwater explorers looking to experience the authentic magic of Indonesia’s last true frontier.
