Boaters love BLU3 battery-powered dive systems so we are returning to these boat shows in April / May 2025

March 6th, 2025     |     By BLU3 

Boaters love BLU3 battery-powered dive systems, so BLU3 is heading back to Sarasota for the Suncoast Boat Show and returning for our second year at the Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show this weekend. Next weekend, you can find us at the Newport Beach Boat Show. These aren’t just events on our calendar — they’re shows we look forward to every year.

We have heard that boaters love BLU3 battery-powered dive systems because they are multipurpose and bring a lot of value. As a tool, they are helpful for boat maintenance like cleaning the hull or replacing zincs. Boat owners also use BLU3 and Brownie's Third Lung products in emergencies like untangling a line or fishing net from boat propellers, or as a peace-of-mind check on the anchor while sitting in anchorage. 

Originally, the products were designed for FUN! So while you might justify the purchase as a piece of equipment for the boat, you know that if you end up in some pretty water with a nice reef, you might just dive in and explore. You may find yourself searching for treasure or just for a good time under the water's surface.

What We’re Bringing to Show:

BLU3 Nomad & Nomad Mini

Battery-powered dive systems by BLU3 are designed for ultimate portability and convenience. All products come packed inside a small carry-on sized backpack and are airplane-travel friendly.

- The Nomad is rated to 30 feet deep and runs for about an hour.
- The Mini hits 15 feet and is even smaller and lighter than Nomad.

Brownie’s Sea Lion

The Sea Lion is Brownie’s most powerful battery-powered dive system — capable of running three divers at once for up to three hours. That’s the equivalent of replacing 9 SCUBA tanks on a single charge. Think about it: would you rather haul and fill nine tanks for a family dive, or plug in one system and recharge a battery? And when it comes to storage — there’s no contest. The Sea Lion takes up way less space, makes no noise, and is ready to go whenever you are. Reliable, quiet, and built for repeat use, it’s a no-brainer for serious boaters who want real underwater freedom without the bulk.

SeaNXT Elite

An underwater rocket ship! Carbon fiber, under 50 lbs, and smooth underwater. If you’re into underwater scooters, or just want a new water toy that actually delivers a thrill, this is the one to try.

Why BLU3 and Brownie’s Just Make Sense for Boaters

Whether it’s a Nomad Mini stashed under the seat for quick dips, or a Sea Lion getting the whole crew underwater, our systems are built to fit the way real boaters live — simple, smart, and always ready.

We’re boaters too — so we get it. You need gear that:

Can't Make it to the Show?

No problem — you can always find us online, and we also have dealers around the world. But if you’re anywhere near the show, swing by, say hello, and get hands-on with the gear. We’ll help you figure out which setup fits your boat and how you use it.
