A small 2,000-lumen SST40 dive torch. Even in bright tropical water a torch brings back the reds under ledges and in swim-throughs, and it becomes the backup for night dives on a liveaboard.
✅ Pros
❌ Cons
A rechargeable 3,600-lumen torch with a high colour rendering index (90 CRI): corals and fish keep their real colours in the beam. A good all-rounder for day and night dives.
✅ Pros
❌ Cons
A narrow 6° beam that reaches far, 3,000 lumens and a 150-metre rating. The torch for looking into wrecks like the Yongala or HMAS Brisbane, and for signalling to your buddy. The listing we link is the black version.
✅ Pros
❌ Cons
Mares' simplest current wrist computer: one button, air and nitrox (21 to 50%), the Bühlmann ZH-L16C algorithm and Bluetooth with the Mares and SSI apps. A present that stays with a diver from Open Water to the first nitrox dives.
✅ Pros
❌ Cons
An action camera with a large square sensor, waterproof to 20 metres without a housing. Deeper than that you need DJI's dive case. The Standard Combo is sold and shipped by Amazon AU.
✅ Pros
❌ Cons
A compact camera waterproof to 15 metres without a housing, with a built-in flash, optical zoom and a macro mode that focuses very close: ideal for nudibranchs on Sydney and Melbourne shore dives.
✅ Pros
❌ Cons
The camera with its Dive Case (60 m), a floating hand grip, two batteries and a 128 GB card, sold by Insta360's official Australian store. Nothing else to buy before the first reef dive.
✅ Pros
❌ Cons
Colour screen, up to three gases, compass and optional air integration with the Suunto Tank POD. It charges over USB and is worn like a watch. Sold by Amazon AU when we checked.
✅ Pros
❌ Cons
Black Friday is on Friday 27 November 2026, Cyber Monday on 30 November. The only way to know whether a deal is real is to know today's price.
Under the buy button, Amazon shows who sells and who ships. Some dive gear on Amazon.com.au ships from overseas and can take weeks: check the delivery date if the gift has to arrive before Christmas.
A dive computer is a personal choice. Ask whether they dive on nitrox and whether they would rather have a watch or a bigger screen. Our guide to entry-level dive computers in Australia helps narrow it down.
A dive torch or an action camera are safe bets: they are useful from the first reef dive and don't duplicate the kit rented from the dive shop. If the budget allows, a simple dive computer such as the Mares Puck Lite is the present that lasts longest.
Black Friday is on Friday 27 November 2026 and Cyber Monday on Monday 30 November. Amazon usually starts its deals a few days earlier. Not every model is discounted: compare with the price you noted a few weeks before.
Yes, if you stick to a versatile model: air and nitrox, a readable screen, simple menus. The Mares Puck Lite and the Suunto D5 suit beginners to experienced recreational divers. Avoid technical models (trimix, rebreather) unless they have mentioned one.
It depends on depth. The DJI Osmo Action 6 is waterproof to 20 metres and the OM System TG-7 to 15 metres without a housing; deeper, you need the manufacturer's case. The Insta360 Dive Bundle includes its 60-metre case.
Amazon usually extends its returns window for purchases made at the end of the year. The exact terms change every year and by seller: check them on the listing before ordering.
