The Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide for Divers & Snorkelers 2025

If your idea of holiday joy includes salt water instead of snow, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re planning your next dive trip or shopping for someone who lives for coral reefs and clear water, this guide is packed with practical, sustainable gear that belongs in every ocean-lover’s bag. Every gift is an opportunity to choose better: to invest in products that last, reduce waste, and protect the ocean we depend on.

This year’s ProShot Holiday Gift Guide celebrates gear and brands that balance adventure with responsibility. Whether you are shopping for a diver, a surfer, or someone who simply loves being near the water, these sustainable picks combine purpose with performance.

Each Tidal Mask is designed to fit 90% of face shapes, combining comfort, safety, and clarity, so you can focus on what really matters: enjoying the view.

ProShotCase: Capture Every Depth

For the diver or traveler who loves documenting their adventures, the ProShot Dive Case is the ultimate gift. It turns any iPhone (6 and up) into a professional-quality underwater camera. Built for durability, it’s rated to 130 ft (40 m) and features a hard-shell design with dual safety clips to ensure your phone stays dry.

What makes the Dive Case stand out is its ease of use: you can control your camera with the phone’s volume buttons underwater through the ProShot app (no fiddly touchscreen or settings required). Each set includes a carrying case, floating hand grip, and wrist strap for security.

For snorkelers, surfers, and shallower adventures, the ProShot Touch Case (rated to 50 ft / 15 m) allows full touchscreen functionality when you're above the water, and use of the app below water, for full versatility.

And as always, every purchase helps clean our oceans: ProShot donates $1 from every product sold to The Ocean Cleanup and matches customer donations to help remove plastic waste from waterways around the world.

ProShot Camera Tray: The Essential for Underwater Photography

For the serious underwater content creator, the ProShot Camera Tray is an essential piece of equipment. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it gives your underwater footage professional-grade stability and smoothness. Whether your loved one is filming coral reefs, shipwrecks, or open-ocean wildlife, this tray helps capture every shot with precision.

The ergonomic blue silicone grips make it comfortable for long dives, while the cold shoe adapters let users mount dive lights for crystal-clear footage in low-light or deeper environments. It’s compatible with both ProShot Dive and Touch Cases, GoPros, and any other camera housings with a 1/4" thread mount.

The tray also includes a GoPro mount adapter, two cold shoe adapters, and an extra-strong padded wrist strap for secure handling underwater. Optional dive lights can be added at a discounted bundle rate, completing the perfect setup for any underwater filmmaker or adventurer.

4ocean Recycled Bead Bracelets: Wear the Change

If you’re looking for a simple, affordable gift that supports ocean conservation, 4ocean bracelets are a perfect choice. Each bracelet funds the removal of one pound of plastic waste from oceans, rivers, and coastlines.

Handcrafted by artisans in Bali from 100% post-consumer recycled materials (including recovered plastic cords and recycled glass beads) each bracelet is a visible reminder of the wearer’s commitment to cleaner oceans. The stainless steel charms are made from recycled marine-grade metal, designed to withstand the elements and last for years.

4ocean has already removed over 30 million pounds of plastic waste since its founding, and each purchase directly supports cleanup crews around the globe. Available in various ocean-inspired colors (from coral reef pinks to deep-sea blues), they make an easy, meaningful stocking stuffer for any eco-conscious ocean lover.

Stream2Sea Reef-Safe Sunscreen: Protect Skin and Coral Reefs

Sunscreen is essential for anyone who spends long hours in the water, but most formulas contain chemicals that can harm coral reefs. Switching to reef-safe products is one of the simplest ways to protect both your skin and the ocean.

At ProShot, we carry two trusted options: Stream2Sea Watersport Reef-Safe Sunscreen and Coral Care Reef-Safe Sunscreen. Stream2Sea uses non-nano zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection that is biodegradable and tested safe for fish and coral larvae. The travel kit includes sunscreen, lip balm, and leave-in conditioner in recyclable aluminum tubes and a reusable pouch, making it perfect for dive trips or beach days.

Coral Care Reef-Safe Sunscreen offers a lighter, fast-absorbing formula made with reef-friendly minerals and plant-based ingredients. It blends smoothly without leaving a white cast and is free from oxybenzone, octinoxate, and microplastics.

Both are great choices for divers, snorkelers, or anyone who loves spending time in the ocean, and both help keep coral reefs as healthy as the people exploring them.

Fourth Element OceanPositive Apparel: Sustainable Dive Wear

Made by divers, for divers, Fourth Element’s OceanPositive line is all about reducing waste in the water and on land. Their rash guards, leggings, and swimsuits are made from ECONYL® regenerated nylon, a fabric spun from recycled fishing nets and other ocean waste. The result is high-performance gear that’s soft, durable, and designed to hold up to salt, sun, and constant use.

Beyond apparel, Fourth Element’s packaging is plastic-free and fully recyclable, and the company offsets its carbon footprint through ocean-based conservation projects. The brand’s minimalist design and technical fit make this a great gift for divers who want function and sustainability without sacrificing style.

Sea2See Recycled Ocean Plastic Sunglasses: Style with a Story

Sunglasses are a staple for divers and travelers alike, but Sea2See takes them to another level by crafting each frame entirely from recycled marine plastic collected by fishermen in Spain and Ghana. The material is turned into a durable polymer called UPSEA™, giving ocean waste a stylish second life.

Each pair is lightweight, UV-protected, and comes with a recycled cork case. The brand’s mission to show that ocean plastic has real value fits perfectly with ProShot’s ocean protection ethos. Sea2See sunglasses are functional, sustainable, and they look great in every dive trip photo.

ProShot Gift Card: Let Them Choose Their Own Adventure

If you are shopping for someone who already has a full dive kit or you are just not sure what they still need, a ProShot Gift Card is an easy win. Starting at $50, it can be used toward anything in the ProShot or Tidal Sports collections, from dive cases and camera trays to masks and accessories.

It is a thoughtful way to give them something they will actually use, without the guesswork or the risk of duplicate gear. Whether they are upgrading their setup or planning their next dive trip, a ProShot Gift Card lets them choose the gear that fits their next adventure.

Making Waves with Meaningful Gifts

Every purchase we make has a ripple effect, especially when it comes to the ocean. Choosing responsibly made gear is one small way to protect the reefs, wildlife, and coastlines that make our adventures possible.

This holiday season, give something that lasts. From ProShot’s innovative underwater cases to recycled and reef-safe essentials, these gifts celebrate exploration while giving back to the waters that inspire it.
