1. Keep Calm and Scuba Dive Poster
Got a landlocked, stressed-out diver on your list? We admit it—we divers get stressed when we're not blowing bubbles.

2. Scuba Diver Toy
We've got these on our desks in our office. Yes, sometimes we play with them, especially when we're on deadline :) $20.25. Available from Amazon.

For the woman who loves showing she's a diver. This sterling silver charm shows a scuba diving fin that measures approximately 3/4" tall and 1/4" wide. $9.95. Available from Etsy.
4. Deep Sea Baby Costume
This adorable outfit is an infant size (0-3 months) scuba set. It's great for creating a photo for birth announcements and invitations for ocean-themed birthday parties or to dress your baby for a photo shoot or costume party!

Anyone for a spot of tea? Just plunge this accessory into your mug, allow it to steep, then hoist it onto the coordinating silver tray as you enjoy a sip! $14.99. Available from Modcloth.
9. Van Halen Diver Down LP
Tell your favorite diver that he or she rocks :) The 1982 hard-rock album from Eddie and the boys features a bunch of cover songs, including the hit (Oh) Pretty Woman, Dancing in the Streets, Have All the Good Times Gone and Happy Trails. $4.99. Available from Amazon.
10. Scuba Santa Claus Christmas Cards
Send your holiday greetings with a whimsical card. $18. Available from CafePress.
11. Adopt A Manatee
Lots of marine conservation agencies offer opportunities to give a meaningful gift during the holiday season, so feel free to choose your favorite nonprofit. Here in Florida, the Save A Manatee Club has an annual manatee adoption that includes an adoption certificate and biography, both featuring a photo of the real manatee you have adopted, a membership handbook, and subscriptions to the Club’s newsletters, which feature updated reports on the manatees in the adoption program and a variety of other information. Shipping is free within the United States. Gift adoptions are sent with a personalized holiday message. Or, each new member who joins the Adopt-A-Manatee® program at $35 or more will receive the manatee adoption packet plus a free 2013 manatee wall calendar featuring 12 months of beautiful manatee photos and measuring 12" x 24" when open.
