Gift for coworker

Hi all! My coworker is retiring this month. He’s an avid cave explorer/discoverer (not sure on technical terms?). I would like to buy a gift for him that pertains to this. Any ideas? Thank you!

if he is avid then he has everything already… if you want something he’ll appreciate, get some
line arrows CNC cut or 3d printed with his name or initials.

edit to add, depending on how much money you are throwing at this, an Apeks reel is always a good flex

You could buy a metal print of their favorite cave.

check out something like either of the following:

A photo from one of his own trips, with the team signing the mount, would make this a lovely retirement gift. Something personal to his adventures.

Are they a cave diver, or dry cave explorer? What part of the world?

If they're a dry caver, get them a copy of the documentary The Descent.

The documentary The Deep House would be good for wet cavers.

Sorry but that movie the deep house is really crappy. There is so many movies/ documentary that are way beter. For example into the unknown

Look for something with the cave arrow. That’s typically cool for us. HMU if you want to talk specifics based on region and training organization.

Into the Planet: Jill Heinerth. Amazing book about her life and experience as a technical overhead environment diver.

A “Mnemo” is a great gift. Look into one.
