I didn't get dive gear for Christmas :( (I had asked for a reel), did get a book on diving from my in-laws. My dive buddy (wife) got new gloves, a backup light and a dive computer. Older son got OW course. Younger one got good mask & snorkel.
(Ooops, forgot, everyone got a small Magna Doodle for a dive slate from Santa :D )

[ckharlan66]

Santa brought me a Digital Camera and a housing for it.

I must have been real good.

I donnned the Santa hat and stepped into the Ebay ring-for the first time.

I had been very good and so I bid on a Cyklon 5000 reg. with octo. and adaptor.

The X-Mas spirit was with me and I won the the item.

I now have 3 regs......................I have to bid on a dive buddy or two.

[boomx5]

But I did buy my 10 year old a nice 7mm wetsuit.

[Dee]

Beast got a Citizen Hyper-Aqualand dive watch, 5mil gloves and a Halcyon BP pad. I got a new 3rd edition set of Paul Hummans ID books and a new laptop, which counts as scuba gear because it's mainly for downloading digital pictures on trips!

[O-ring]

He let me keep my job in this crummy economy and I bought myself a trip to Bonaire and a Pelican 1650 to haul my crud in..

[Rooster1]

this years dive goodies consisted of a dive mug, bc shampoo, sink the stink, $160 in gift certificates to the lds, underwater camera (good for 125), safety sausage, and lycra suit:)

[BlueWaterDiving]

I got a 450 ss DUI drysuit, and some socks.

I got a 450 ss DUI drysuit, and some socks.

I was handed a box that was just the right size(could it be??)........
as I ripped the paper my son started filming with his new cam-corder, My wife is focusing the Nikon (wow is this why she went to the open house at the dive shop 3 hrs before I could get there??)..... I see the Letters DUI........ I look at the side of the box and see CLx 450 !!!!(wow....how did she manage)

I open the box to find 2 pairs of jeans and 2 shirts :(

It was the box from the drysuit we bought her last year!!!!

Oh well, maybe next year!! :)

Happy Holidays to you all!!

[Lawman]

the Lawman a UK SL6 divelight

wetsuit so he can dive Great Lakes
wrecks with me next summer! :D

[Diver Lori]

I gave Scuba Santa a neon line arrow and the book "Submerged"

[Northeastwrecks]

Santa was nice this year. I was thrilled to receive an AL40 deco bottle, stage rigging kit, Apeks DS4/TX40 deco regulator, Halcyon backplate and an 18 lb Wing for Carribean dives.

Thanks to Patience for the great stuff.

[snuggle]

my girlfriend bless her heart got me 7mm dive gloves ,7mm boots,a 5mm full hood,and a very nice piece of silver thats shaped like an anchor with a ships wheel and a cross in the middle ..merry christmas everyone..

[mello-yellow]

I got a "motivational gift": a rock from the Red Sea encrusted with puple barnacle shells, and a $150 check "to spend on whatever you need to collect more of these". I used it to buy a pony bottle.

[Mo2vation]

My wife and diver partner is a Teacher, and is off until Jan 6. We have three trips planned for the new drysuits 'tween now and then.

Time together is what I wanted most. What a blessed Christmas we had.

[chrispete]

I had Christmas in July this year and booked a trip on the Nekton Pilot starting on this Jan 11th, but alas fate intervened and the company that I worked for was sold, I didn't want to work for the new owners, and that coupled with starting a new business my funds dried completely up so I never was able to pay off the trip. Couple of weeks ago, I wander into my LDS to give up and tell them to transfer the trip to someone else - the owner simply handed me my tickets and told me that "we are going to have a blast in Belize." He told me make payments when I can afford them. Talk about a Christmas present! (Have I ever mentioned how lucky I am to have an LDS like this 2 blocks from my apartment?)

[animian2002]

I have got a Tank banger from a non-diver Friend, Obviously I have not been playing much attention to her when she talks :D :rolling:
Got the hints ;) :D

Happy Holiday and have fun diving ;)

[JDostal]

I got a trip to the Bahama's on a Blackbeard's sail/dive cruise. It was actually my birthday/christmas present that I got in early november...but it's still one of the coolest christmas presents I've ever gotten. I'm leaving in a week and can't wait to get out of here!

[mddolson]

It's not diving equipment per say,

But I got a GPS from Santa Claus aka Sharon my wife. It will come in handy wreck diving on the great alkes next season.

:blfish:

[Stone]

Bauer Oceanus Compressor (should arrive next week) and a propane heater for the boat cabin (we opened that one early!)

[barb]

Weezle undies (custom cut) coming in February.
My favourite gift is non-dive related - an amazingly cute bunny. Her/his name is bun bun. I love her/him very much - she loves to snuggle and be petted.
I'm so lucky!!:)

That is too dang funny...I had a rabbit named BunBun when I was a kid! Enjoy your rabbit...but watch out for the chocolate chip trail they leave :)

[Mo2vation]

We had three (Venus, Mars & Bart). One died last year (Mars burned up in orbit) - so we now have just the two. The best pets ever.

Too funny. Rabbit owners (and former rabbit owners) on this board. Who knew...?

Ken


Maybe I can clip off Mars like a stage...

Naw...

[trymixdiver]

Work gave me a Nikon 5700 and i got myself a DUI clx450 SS.

Andy

[Jersey]

and a class to learn how to use it properly. Class culminates in a dive in the local aquarium. Guess I'll be hanging out under the photography section of the baord!

My other half got lots of gift certificates to lds, he needs some new gear.

Bought my brother a mask & snorkel & OW course.

[joel_pratt]

scubaclaws brought me a nice O2 clean steel 72, a Halcyon ss bp with a pioneer 45 wings and a book on boat dives in washington state.

[GearHead]

I let my family know that I wanted their dirty, greasy, stinky cash money - toward the purchase of my first canister light. I'm still saving, but I hope to give Dan at StealthDive a call with my order soon!

Count me into the rabbit owners list!! Snowflake is a cute little rabbit... but ya'll are right about the little "presents" she leaves on the carpet. :out: One of these days I'm gonna keep track of the mass she eats and the mass of ... that comes out because I think this rabbit is somehow managing to "output" more than she inputs. :D


For christmas.. I got a dive compass (I've been doing without until now), and my dad let me have all of his old gear which basically hooks me up with a backup set of mid 1980's gear.

[cyklon_300]

Halcyon 60# lift bag and a Defender spool...and socks.

[ckharlan66]

I was hoping Santa would bring me a new Dive Buddy (female) but I got up Christmas morning and looked under the tree and he let me down. :(

Oh well I guess there is always next year.

That's a very kind offer, but how much lead would you need for an inflatable dive buddy?
:bonk:

[Curly]

$100

As usual, I don't know what to do with it. Plenty of ideas.

So I posted a poll.

[100days-a-year]

Good to see lotsa folks behaved this year.One of my buddies is coming by tonite to borrow 4 al80s for his trip to the Keys.Other notables were a buddy getting a LORAN for his new boat and another getting waterproof flares and container for them.Looks like DUI and Halcyon made some holiday money.

[Wreck Ranger]

Santa was nice to me as well. For Christmas I got a 3mm beenie( for lack of a better word), a pair of Scubapro gloves, an Olympus C-3020 and PT-010, and a reg overhaul.

Finally I can get my camera in the water YIPPEEEE!!!!!
I'll send pics as soon as i get back. Hope everyone had a great Holiday and will have a wondeful but SAFE New Year:boozer:

[KyMermaidDivr]

got it for my birthday in November ... a trip to Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and W Palm, plus various pieces of equipment to take along. Santa, instead, brought me climbing gear this Christmas. Hopefully, the taxman will be donating some dive gear, though! :thumb:
