First Holy Communion is an important event for the loved ones of the child, who on that day, for the first time in his life, receives the Eucharist. Preparations for communion can be difficult and exhausting, requiring discipline from the child and considerable organizational (and often conciliatory!) skills from the parents. A communion party is a pleasant way to celebrate First Communion with family and friends. It’s also a great opportunity to bestow gifts and souvenirs to your child on this important day. What kind of gift to choose for communion? Can a communion gift be more than just a material gift? We check out what’s trending in gift trends and why scuba diving is a great gift idea!
A unique gift for communion
The Covid-19 pandemic has thwarted many plans, including those for the traditional celebration of First Holy Communion. Celebrations were postponed and stretched out over time, were held in smaller groups and were usually less lavish than they had been. We have learned to appreciate more the mere opportunity to meet with loved ones – things and material things have receded into the background. How has this affected our attitude toward communion gifts?
Gifts whose value is determined by something more than money have gained in importance! These are gift suggestions for spending time together, having unique adventures, and perhaps discovering new and unique passions. One such gift offer is a voucher for scuba diving at Deepspot. This is the perfect gift for a child who loves water, is adventurous and open to new experiences, and is eager to tackle even the most demanding challenges. The opportunity to try your hand at scuba diving or freediving is a communion gift that will stay in your child’s memory for years to come!
Scuba diving, or a communion gift with a second meaning
Deepspot is the world‘s most modern and deepest multi-zone diving conditions simulator. This is an ideal place to make your first dive – in maximum safe conditions, in water with a pleasant temperature of 32-34 degrees. C, under the guidance of highly qualified and experienced instructors. A voucher for a child for freediving or scuba diving is a great idea for an original communion gift! Nothing prevents you from going to a restaurant after the dive.
Freediving as a gift for communion? Hold your breath and act!
Freediving is one of the basic methods of diving. This is free diving, on held breath, without an aqualung – all you need is a bathing suit, mask and fins. The first dive using the freediving technique is a lot of excitement, an opportunity to break your own limits and barriers and try something absolutely unique. Here everything happens at its own pace, and going underwater is an exciting pleasure!
Scuba diving as a gift for communion? Catch your first breath underwater!
Scuba diving is called equipment diving. Already during the first dive, the diver is equipped with a suitable aqualung (equipment that allows breathing underwater – mask, compressed air cylinder), enabling him to swim freely underwater for a long time. This is an opportunity to admire and explore the underwater world, which often turns into a lifelong passion.
For whom is diving a gift?
A scuba diving voucher as a gift for a child? This is an excellent idea! According to the standards of diving organizations, diving in complete equipment (with a cylinder of coupled air) is intended for healthy people – adults, as well as adolescents and children from 8 years of age. So we can gift a dive for communion (children entering this sacrament are usually 9 years old), as well as for birthdays, children’s day, graduation or any other occasion. Diving is the perfect gift for a girl and a sensational gift for a boy.
Exceptions and contraindications? In the case of children with low weight and children with attention problems (when there is a concern that they will not cooperate with the instructor) – it is advisable to postpone the voucher and start the diving adventure at a later date. Health contraindications to diving include. Bronchial asthma, respiratory conditions, cardiovascular and heart diseases, diabetes, ear diseases, musculoskeletal problems (especially the spine) and neurological problems and conditions. If you have any doubts – consult your doctor before embarking on a diving adventure.
A voucher for a child’s first Scuba Diving or Freediving dive at Deepspot is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase and can be redeemed any day of the week, at the time of your choice! So you’ll have plenty of time after Communion to catch up on the details and plan the trip!
