🛒 Buying well on Black Friday

1. Note prices now

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.

2. Check the seller

Under the buy button, Amazon shows who sells and who ships. An item sold and shipped by Amazon is simpler to return, which matters for a present.

3. For a dive computer, ask discreetly

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 the best budget dive computers helps narrow it down.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What do you buy a beginner diver?

A dive torch or a small action camera are safe bets: they are useful from the first dive and don't duplicate the kit rented from the dive centre. If the budget allows, a simple dive computer such as the Cressi Leonardo is the present that lasts longest.

When is Black Friday 2026?

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.

Can you give a dive computer without knowing the diver's level?

Yes, if you stick to a versatile model: air and nitrox, a readable screen, simple menus. The Cressi Leonardo and the Aqualung i330R suit everyone from beginners to experienced recreational divers. Avoid technical models (trimix, rebreather) unless they have mentioned one.

Do you need a housing to film underwater?

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 AKASO EK7000 comes with an underwater housing.

Can you exchange a present bought on Amazon?

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.
