This Valentine’s Day let that special someone know that in high tide or low tide, you will be by their side with these ocean-inspired Valentine’s Day gifts.
From once-in-a-lifetime experiences to gifts that show the planet some love, we have curated a Valentine’s Day gift guide for couples whose first true love was the salty sea.
Here are our top picks to show them that you love them more than the grains of sand on the beach, the fish in the sea and the waves in the ocean.
1. Take Your Love to New Depths with an Open Water Diver eLearning Course
Couples that dive together stay together! There’s nothing quite as special as sharing a life-changing adventure that stands the test of time. So this Valentine’s Day, why not give a gift that keeps on giving and take your love to new depths by starting your PADI Open Water Diver certification journey together? The two of you can start the online course together at your own leisure, and then complete your certification at a local or overseas PADI Dive Center or Resort, where you will work with a dedicated PADI Instructor to develop basic skills and confidence together. As dive buddies, you and your partner will get to share an enhanced sense of trust and teamwork, improve your communication skills, share a passion and gain a passport for a lifetime of underwater exploration together.
2. Book a Romantic Dive Holiday
Plan an unforgettable date by whisking your special someone off to a literal heart-shaped island or overwater bungalow where the two of you can truly be in the moment.
