Valentines Day

When you ask people what they want for Valentine’s Day, the responses vary greatly.  As a twist on this question, we asked some members of our staff what divers might give their Spouses, Dive Buddies, or significant others.  Here are their responses:

The “man purse” with clients in Tulum

When you already have everything, it is difficult to find something special for people in your lives.  One of our clients inspired my response — everyone needs a man purse.  Of course, the man purse is one everyone can use and since it is valentines day, sliding in a few treats would just put the gift over the top.

Alex Witschey had a little bit of a different answer.  He thought a drybag stuffed with a Red Headed Gobe Light, some Pure Fiji Massage Oil, a 25′ spool with braided nylon line, a bolt snap and a shackle wold make the perfect gift.  We are not entirely sure what the line and shackle are for but Alex just said use your imagination.

As far as Eric is concerned, there is no treat better than spending a week with that special someone in an African Safari Tent or a private burre overlooking the crystal clear blue waters of Sau Bay in Fiji.  It is a wonderful thing to just wake up to birds and the wind rippling across the bay as the sun comes up and paints the sky with colors.  And you rest with the knowledge that the world underwater world will be even more wonderful.  So put a certificate and some Pure Fiji products in a dry bag and give it to your sweetheart.  Then start imagining Fiji in July.

Al’s thought for the holiday was a gift from around the world.  Your special someone might like a Fijian basket, a Philppine tray, jewelry, a pashmina scarf or a Pure Fiji gift box.  Come by and he will help you find just the right thing.
