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.

Santa Divers take the Plunge for Charity
Ho Ho Ho! Vobster Quay’s recording-breaking charity Santa diving event returns on Sunday 15th December 2024 for another round of festive fundraising frivolities. Run in aid of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and Help For Heroes, this ever-popular annual fundraising event aims to raise sack-loads of cash for these two very deserving charities.
Divers of all levels are invited to grab their Santa outfits – and as much festive cheer as they can muster – and head down to Vobster Quay near Mells, Somerset for a mass sponsored Santa dive in aid of charity. In previous years, the event has attracted divers from the far corners of the UK to join in the festive merriment for a final festive dive before the Christmas and New Year break. Back in 2015, the event smashed the world record for the most Santa divers with 188 divers taking to the waters donning their festive finery – a record that remains unbeaten to this day!
Vobster Santas isn’t just about setting records – it’s also about raising some serious cash for charity. Vobster Quay encourages all divers to get into the spirit of the season to raise much-needed funds for two very deserving charities – the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and Help For Heroes.
Through individual sponsorship and online donations, divers can invite their friends, family and work colleagues to sponsor them to plunge into the balmy waters of Vobster Quay dressed in full festive finery. Since the very first Santa dive in 2007, the event has raised over £52,000 for charity. “It’s been over 17 years since the very first charity Santa dive took place at Vobster Quay and every year the event just keeps getting bigger and better” enthused Vobster Quay owner, Amy Stanton.
“Vobster Santas is a great way for divers to say a massive thank you to the both the RNLI and Help For Heroes – two very deserving charities close to our hearts. We’re immensely proud of all that Vobster Santas has achieved and hope that even more divers will join this year’s event on Sunday 15th December. I’m confident that we can make Vobster Santas 2024 the biggest yet!”.
Divers wishing to participate can get involved by simply registering their attendance at
