The BLU3 Nomad is awesome for spring river diving. It’s lightweight, easy to set up, and way more convenient than hauling full scuba gear. The airflow feels solid and it’s perfect for shallow, clear water where you just want to relax and explore. Not a replacement for deep dives, but for springs and river runs it works great and makes getting in the water quick and hassle-free.
We have been using the Nomad Blu3 unit for a little over a year. We are full time cruisers and use it about every 2-3 weeks to clean the hull of our boat. Its a game changer for our situation. We just got he 3X battery which will be even better to allow for more time cleaning. Great product!!
After using the system for 2 seasons, light use , total of 50 dives, the unit started pushing some water together with the air into the regulator. The leak was within the compressor, not the hose. I used NOMAD in that condition for 10 more dives. The unit now stopped working. The compressor is on and running but no air comes out of the regulator. Also , battery latch broke off due to vibrations. Considering this is a USA company you would expect better quality.
As I commented earlier on FB, I own one and absolutely love it. My wife and I both used it in the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands. We have been avid scuba enthusiasts for over forty years. Our BLU3 system is perfect for shallow dives as it frees us up from lugging all the required equipment related to scuba. It's the same experience as skin diving without having to surface. You hardly know it is there. We are retired and travel often so another great advantage is the compact BLU3 system is allowed as carry on when flying!
I have the Nemo model from Diveblu3 and I love it. Recently the electronic components failed due to salt water corrosion. I mailed it back to the company for them to fix it, and even though it was out of warranty, they not only covered the service charges, but also upgraded the battery and the hose attachment. They were very responsive by email throughout the whole process. What great customer service!! I highly recommend that brand!
Just starting with my nomad mini - three dives in and loving it. Really well designed, feels v stable and safe. I dive in shallow water to do u/w surveys in Greece and a tank would be really cumbersome in these conditions. This system is perfect for what I need, to be able to stay still on the seabed and measure/photograph seahorses, without stressing them out with freediving up and down constantly. Also the team in Florida are so responsive and helpful, very much recommend.
The BLU3 Nomad feels like the CPAP of diving — quiet, effortless, and incredibly reliable. Setup takes minutes, breathing is smooth and natural, and the battery easily lasts through a full hour of work under the boat. It’s the perfect mix of simplicity and performance for anyone who wants to dive without the hassle of tanks.
I am so happy that I bought from you a whole year's experience of diving under the sea, very fun, a special device. I just saw that you released a new battery that lasts two hours, what is its price?
We knew we needed a BLU3 when we purchased our catamaran. This device is a game changer not only for boat bottom maintenance but exploring. We put it to the test, helping a fellow sailor unsnag their anchor. Hands down an amazing tool. Thanks Blake and team for an out of this world product.
I recently purchased the Nomad and couldn’t be happier with it. Having done plenty of dives and snorkeling over the years, I can honestly say this combines the best of both worlds. The performance is impressive—and it’s great that the air comes at no cost! Customer service has also been outstanding. I misplaced a plug, called support, and they answered right away, were extremely helpful, and even had a replacement shipped overnight.
I've been using the Nomad Mini to clean my hull for a couple years now, and I love it. It's a quality product, easy to use, and I recommend it personally.
Ok I love my nomad. I have used it at many beaches in Florida to the Caribbean. But what has made me like them even more is customer service. I went diving a week ago and had a problem with my nomad. I talked to Jack and actually shipped it out to them that day. Called and talked and said I have a big trip lined up. He said we got you. I got my nomad delivered today. The day before I leave. So I get to breathe under water again.
The Blu3 Dive system has been exceptionally helpful for the work on our Coral City Camera and urban coral research. It gives me more flexibility to do work underwater in relatively shallow water where I would normally have to hold my breath via snorkel
We purchased the blue3nemo dive system prior to our Atlantic crossing on our sailboat this past year, and have been impressed with the system that we have now used multiple times. It was easy to use and essential for changing anodes in remote anchorages, and made cleaning the boat bottom so much easier. The batteries have held up well, and the system has worked flawlessly. It has given us peace of mind knowing we can work to free fouled lines ourselves and take care of underwater tasks without having to find a place to haul the boat. And bonus, it’s fun to use for shallow diving!
Having used a Nemo for several years, my friends and I decided to upgrade to the Nomad Mini. Easier to use, and better for cleaning sailboats, as 5 feet makes a material difference. I cannot say enough good things about the product support, and development.
I purchased the 30 foot model of the Blue Sea and have used it for bottom cleaning on my 53 foot mono hull with a 6 foot draft. It has exceeded my expectations! The fast charging time of the battery packs and the 30 foot air hose fits the bill.
I bloody love Blu3! I own a boat and it is brilliant for diving under the boat to remove ropes (oops) around the prop and check the intakes. And then you can chase after fish. fabulous
I got my Nomad Mini a few weeks ago and really enjoy it!!! The product itself is amazing quality, and the customer service is fantastic. If your in the market for a portable dive system look no further!!!
These guys make outstanding products and their customer service is second to none. My kids have were certified to dive, but wanted to do it more often with a lower barrier to just "check a spot out". The Blu3 Nomad is the perfect tool for this and these guys make a first class product with outstanding after sale service.
I bought the Nomad Mini this summer and had a blast diving/floating in the rivers around Pennsylvania searching for sunk treasures & checking out underwater wildlife. We're looking forward to using it in the Caribbean during our winter warm-up, and again next summer. The device seems to be very durable, and there was a lot of thought put into the design. I was initially hesitant to spend the money before seeing the system in action, but am so glad I did! It was very easy to setup & get running. The company was quick to answer my questions as well, and seems to prioritize customer service. Thanks!
I am so happy with our purchase! I relinquished my heavy/awkward SCUBA gear years ago...and am so happy to have found the ease and convenience of the Nomad underwater discovery device!
BLU3 Nomad allows you to follow underwater....from sea turtles to lobster hiding spots, all easy to access without the weight and bulk of full diving gear!
I've felt very comfortable and at ease using BLU3. Customer service is exceptional, Jack was very helpful in keeping my unit in perfect running condition!
BLU3 Nomad is a great diving tool. We loved using it to clean the bottom of our catamaran in the Bahamas. Compact and easy to store. Simple to set up. Quick to charge and Really Easy to use.
I have the Nomad Mini with its Dive Boost kit which allows me to dive for 2 hours/2.5 hours. I practice underwater metal detection and the Nomad Mini is perfect for me. The quality of the product and the reliability of the Blu3 company...
An out-of-this-world experience! BLU3's equipment is unlike anything I’ve ever used before! innovative, lightweight, and absolutely game-changing. Whether you're a beginner or experienced diver, their gear opens up a whole new way to explore underwater. The team at the store is incredibly kind, welcoming, and truly know their stuff. They answered all my questions with patience and gave me great advice. I only have amazing memories from this place, thank you BLU3!! for such an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend to anyone even remotely curious about diving. 🌊💙
Bought the nemo duo package 5/16/24 with two spare batteries. We Love them and the customer service is phenomenal. Will definitely be buying more/upgrading. Worth the money for these memories. Have told everyone I know that they need to buy one as well.
We absolutely love our BLU3 Nomad! We keep ours on our boat when traveling, using it to dive and maintain our hull /zines as well as spearfishing and Lobster hunting. It is compact, self contained and lightweight, making it easy to take with us when exploring in our dinghy. No affiliation with the company, just a very satisfied customer. Bonus is that it is easy to reach support at their company, speak with a knowledgeable person and get answers with any questions. Highly recommend!!!!
I purchased the mini unit for cleaning the bottom of my J40 sailboat. I just used it for the first time and was very happy. I was in the water on the Chesapeake Bay for a half hour cleaning and the battery was still going strong. Thank You.
Met Heather, Blake, and the guys at Blu3 today! I’ve had my Nomad for about a year and it has been amazing. Great team and so willing to help in any way. I lost a few minor items and they had me replacements and a minor issue fixed for me in minutes!
I've owned the Nemo by BLU3 for 4 years. I love this system for doing my shallow water metal detecting. It's really a perfect product for what I'm doing. BLU3's customer service has also been prompt and helpful the few times I've had question or issues. It was an investment for me to get a Nemo, but it's paid for itself many times over in finding lost jewelry/phones/watches/sunglasses, etc. for myself and others.
The Nomad is a great product. I use it mostly, but not totally, in less than 5' of water. At these shallow depths I get about 1 1/2 hours of battery power. I've had it over two years. Customer service is fast, friendly, and helpful.
Working with the Blu3 dive systems has been a breeze! Many people may know me from my videos but few know I only use Blu3 made systems for my treasure hunting. I highly Recommend their products to anyone looking for a hookah diving system for whatever they need it for, treasure hunting, Spear fishing, boat maintenance, or just simply diving to have fun. The dive systems are easy to use, easy to maintain, portable and safe. Everything I could have asked for in a dive kit and more!
I have used my Nemo for years without any problems, the design is unparalleled in both ease of use and reliability. Every interaction I have ever had with the company has been five stars and they go out of their way to make sure that any small problems are taken care of immediately. Customer service like this just doesn't exist anymore and coupled with a superior product is exactly why I will forever be a loyal customer to Blu3.. there are many imitations out there but none can compare to the original. Keep up the good work Blu3!!
I have a BLU3 diving setup that I actually love. I got certified for diving back in 1970 and I've loved diving since then. What I hated was the weight and cumbersome of all of the gear. I've also used Air supply diving gear for a long time, but BLU3 is a real game changer! I can carry this along the beach and enter the water easily within moments of reaching the dive site.
I have had what I call Mr Blue - 3 . I have had no problems with this unit I got 3 yrs ago. Since then I have used it with my waterproof metal detecter Dominican Republic , 2 times and Point Mago Ca, this is so much fun. If you know someone with Mr Blue, ask to try it ! You will order right away ,have fun.
This makes my algea dives and underwater drain replacements faster, and more profitable.... its also a blast to use in my personal time in the Florida springs!
We already have a Nomad Mini, and love it, so we decided to purchase a second unit! While you're limited to the length of the hose, it's a great way to explore the shallow reefs, clean the bottom of your boat, or just sit in your pool, underwater, for an extended period of time! Had to reach out to customer support regarding something basic and they were quick to respond! Highly Recommend if you're in the market. Be sure to go through the training too.. Great information.
I flooded my nomad mini in salt water and I called for support and was advised to run fresh water through the intake system I did that and my unit is working well. Thanks Blake for your help.
By far, the BLU3 is the best single dive unit available in the world. Love the compact, lightweight, and reliable air source. Beyond happy and will recommend to my dive buddies 100%.
I saw the BLU3 Nomad at a boat show and thought it was the coolest idea ever. I rationalized that I would use it to clean our bottom when cruising but the truth is that I just wanted it. I ordered and using the Nomad was even more fun than I expected. I love how compact it is, and how easy it is to use and maintain. Best boat purchase of the season!
Great company, great staff. Incredible customer service. We love our Blu3 products and excited for all the new technology this company brings to the industry. They truly stand behind their products and are a good example of what other companies should aspire to be. Shout out to Jack - really appreciate the support and excellence you’ve delivered.
We love our BLU3 Nomad. We use it when anchored to explore our underneath world. We put it in our dingy and take to clearer waters and reefs. My husband also uses it to clean the bottom of the boat. It is Very quiet.
I recently became a happy owner of a nomad! I ordered it with extra batteries and a charger. And I received another battery and charger as a gift from the blu3 team! The order was assembled and shipped as quickly as possible! Nomad was well packed and arrived in Europe without damage! Assembly was as easy and fast as possible! Immediately after assembly, Nomad proved itself in action! An excellent compact solution! I had experience using diving equipment with a dive duration of 35-45 minutes and a depth of up to 7 meters. I tried Nomad in the same conditions, with the same depth and the same dive time. And I can say with confidence - Nomad is lighter, more compact and more convenient! Only positive emotions and joy from the purchase! Many thanks to blu3!
I purchased my Nemo from Blu3 over a year and a half ago, and I’ve absolutely been loving it! Their support team is great, as they always respond to my emails promptly and address any questions I have with the care and concern you would expect from a professional and reputable company. They have 10 out of 10 for products and customer service in my book.

Nomad Mini is a portable and airline-friendly tankless diving system designed for depths of up to 15 feet with one battery. The DiveBoost Kit allows you to connect a second battery to the unit, increasing your dive time. You can even purchase an extra DiveBoost Kit and attach three batteries for 3x the normal run time.
Nomad Mini is extremely user-friendly and perfect for boat owners, treasure hunters, and adventurous people who want to explore the underwater world without the hassle of traditional scuba gear. The system floats on the surface like a buoy and delivers compressed air through a hose as you breathe underwater.
Introducing Nomad Mini
The Nomad Mini dive system, rated for a maximum depth of 15 feet, was designed as a smaller version of the Nomad, rated to 30 feet. For many applications, 15 feet is more than enough depth performance. Nomad Mini has been optimized to be as small and lightweight as possible, and weighing in at only 12 pounds including the battery it is the most portable dive system in the world. This is only possible thanks to BLU3's patented Smart Reg technology which enables the pump to run at the ultimate lowest pressure based on the diver's depth.
Nomad Mini Dive System Requires Training
Whether you're diving Nomad Mini or Nomad, make sure you take the BLU3 Online Dive Training Course before diving. We strongly recommend diving with a Spare Air (add on from the dropdown) and getting SCUBA certified to further your diving skills after completing our free training course at diveblu3.com/training.

DiveBoost™ Kit

The Nomad Mini Design
Nomad Mini is a compact and user-friendly diving system, designed and assembled in Florida, USA! Included with your purchase is the BLU3 Backpack, making storage and transportation a breeze.
Tankless diving with nomad mini dive system

Why choose the Nomad Mini Dive System instead of the Nomad?
The Nomad Mini is designed for those who value portability, ease of use, and versatility more than maximum performance.
Nomad Mini is as small and portable as it gets, weighing in at only 12 pounds (5.4 kg) including the battery. And spare batteries are only about 1 pound each! (Half a kilogram)
If 15 feet / 4.6 meters is plenty of depth for you, choose Nomad Mini.
The DiveBoost Kit for paralleling multiple batteries is only available as an add-on for Nomad Mini.
Here’s a quick comparison between the two most portable dive systems in the world, Nomad Mini and Nomad:
For those who prioritize deep diving up to 30 feet or need longer dive times, the Nomad remains the top choice. However, if you’re looking for portability, convenience, and functionality in a compact package, the Nomad Mini dive system is the ideal solution.
The Smart Reg™
The Compressor
The Battery Pack
Dry Bag Float
The Air Hose
bLU3 Backpack
The Smart Reg™
What allows Nomad Mini to be so compact, energy-efficient, and responsive is our patented Smart Reg™ – the first of its kind!
Here’s how it works: A silicone diaphragm inside the Smart Reg™ moves
when the diver breathes. A waterproofed sensor measures the diaphragm
movement – it then sends an electronic signal which triggers the
compressor to pump air at exactly the time and speed that the diver is
inhaling.
The Compressor
Nomad Mini utilizes a custom compressor built by our team in Florida, USA. This compressor has been tailored to meet the requirements of deeper dives with higher pressure and flow rates. Our compressor can handle saltwater intrusion without damage, making maintenance simple and hassle-free.
Nomad Mini is surrounded by a foam shell that provides inherent buoyancy and ensures the unit is unsinkable. For added buoyancy, stability, and visibility, Nomad Mini can be used with the Dry Bag Float or the Floatation Tube.
The Battery Pack
Nomad Mini is powered by a newly enhanced 86Wh lithium-ion battery pack that is both swappable and rechargeable. The pack, along with its connector, boasts an IP67 rating, making it well-equipped to handle saltwater environments. This battery is airline-friendly, fitting within carry-on luggage restrictions for most airlines. A handy charge-level indicator is seamlessly integrated onto the battery for effortless monitoring. When equipped with the DiveBoost Kit, divers have the option to add an extra battery, further extending their dive time. The Nomad Mini is designed to reach depths of up to 15 feet with just a single battery. To maximize your diving experience, consider stocking up on extra battery packs to ensure uninterrupted underwater exploration!
Note: Newer batteries are required to power Nomad Mini on a single battery. If you are powering Nomad Mini with older batteries, you will need to use multiple batteries and the DiveBoost Kit. Batteries shipped with Nomad Mini were made in 2023.
Dry Bag Float or Flotation Tube
The Nomad Mini comes with the versatile Dry Bag Float, which offers buoyancy, visibility, and waterproof storage. This included accessory features two air reservoirs that can be easily inflated by mouth, providing an impressive 44 lb of buoyancy. It also features a convenient waterproof compartment for storing your dry items during your dive.
For those looking for additional buoyancy and visibility, we offer the Flotation Tube as an optional accessory. The Flotation Tube is designed to enhance your diving experience with Nomad Mini, providing extra buoyancy and improved visibility in the water. Please note that the Flotation Tube is a separate accessory and can be purchased separately to complement your Nomad Mini dive system.
The Air Hose
Nomad’s 30-foot air hose is the perfect balance of
weight, flexibility, and durability. The coils prevent the hose from
kinking and make it super easy to handle. Bungee the hose up for easy
storage. (Hose is longer than max depth to allow for more scope, making
Nomad easier to tow while diving at max depth).
BLU3 Backpack
Take Nomad Mini with you to new dive spots around the world with the BLU3 Backpack, designed specifically to make carrying Nomad Mini or Nomad and the
rest of your gear as easy as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nomad Mini Diving
What is the Reserve Air Tank option for with the BLU3 Nomad Mini Dive System?
DOES NOMAD MINI FLOAT?
Yes, the Nomad Mini comes with a foam shell that provides inherent buoyancy for diving. To enhance buoyancy, stability, and visibility during offshore dives, we offer two options: the included Dry Bag Float or the Flotation Tube. The Dry Bag Float is included with the Nomad Mini, while the Flotation Tube can be purchased separately for optimal diving experience.
CAN I USE THE NOMAD MINI FOR HULL CLEANING OR INSPECTING MY BOAT'S PROPELLERS?
Yes, the Nomad Mini is ideal for tasks like hull cleaning, propeller inspection, and general boat maintenance. Its compact design allows for easy underwater access and mobility.
WHAT TYPE OF BATTERY IS NEEDED TO POWER NOMAD MINI USING ONLY ONE BATTERY?
The newer Nomad Mini batteries, which have a 20% increased capacity at 86Wh, are designed to power the Nomad Mini using just one battery. If you are utilizing the older 72Wh batteries, you will need to use the DiveBoost Kit in conjunction with two batteries. Please note that batteries shipped with Nomad Mini were manufactured in 2023.
WHAT MAKES THE DIVEBOOST™ KIT SO SPECIAL?
The DiveBoost™ Kit is equipped with advanced electronics that enable the simultaneous use of multiple lithium-ion batteries. This unique DiveBoost technology allows users to stack batteries, significantly extending your dive time. With the ability to stack up to two DiveBoost kits, you can maximize your underwater exploration. However, please note that while it extends dive time, it doesn't increase the depth rating of your Nomad Mini.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEMO, NOMAD MINI AND NOMAD?
Nemo is engineered for dives up to 10 feet deep. Nomad Mini allows divers to reach depths of 15 feet and features an optional accessory for stacking batteries for extended dive time. Nomad, on the other hand, is crafted for dives up to 30 feet deep.
WHAT IF NOMAD MINI FLIPS OR GOES UNDERWATER?
As long as the very top of the intake snorkel remains above the water, you will continue to receive fresh air flow from Nomad Mini. The rest of the unit can be submerged. If water does get inside the pump, no damage will be caused. Simply rinse it through with fresh water.
IS NOMAD MINI AIRPLANE FRIENDLY?
Absolutely! The lithium battery used is under the limit and accepted by most airlines in carry-on luggage so that you can travel around the world with Nomad Mini. The Nomad Mini inside its backpack will fit as carry-on luggage, or you can check the unit while bringing the battery as carry-on. Be prepared by bringing your Air Travel Certificate, which you can download here: https://www.diveblu3.com/air-travel-certificates/
DOES THE NOMAD MINI BATTERY LAST LONGER IN SHALLOW WATER?
Certainly! When diving in shallow waters with the Nomad Mini, you can anticipate extended run times. Plus, you can coil up any excess hose length for a streamlined experience, keeping the Nomad Mini conveniently close. For dives less than 10 feet deep, the Nemo can deliver similar or even longer run times. Though it's worth noting that the Nomad Mini is already engineered for dives up to 15 feet deep with a single battery. The DiveBoost™ Kit further enhances the diving experience by allowing users to add an additional battery for increased dive time
WHAT MAINTENANCE DOES THE NOMAD MINI REQUIRE AFTER US USE ON A BOAT?
After use, rinse all components with fresh water, allow them to dry thoroughly, and store them in a cool, dry space onboard or at home.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN NOMAD MINI DIVING?
WARNING: Nomad Mini uses strong magnets. Magnets may interfere with pacemakers or medical implants. It is advised that persons with pacemakers or medical implants do not use Nomad. Persons with pacemakers or medical implants must stay back at least 2 feet from the Nomad Mini main body at all times.

The company was quick to answer my questions as well, and seems to prioritize customer service. Thanks!
I am so happy with our purchase! I relinquished my heavy/awkward SCUBA gear years ago...and am so happy to have found the ease and convenience of the Nomad underwater discovery device!
BLU3 Nomad allows you to follow underwater....from sea turtles to lobster hiding spots, all easy to access without the weight and bulk of full diving gear!
I've felt very comfortable and at ease using BLU3. Customer service is exceptional, Jack was very helpful in keeping my unit in perfect running condition!
BLU3 Nomad is a great diving tool. We loved using it to clean the bottom of our catamaran in the Bahamas. Compact and easy to store. Simple to set up. Quick to charge and Really Easy to use.
I have the Nomad Mini with its Dive Boost kit which allows me to dive for 2 hours/2.5 hours. I practice underwater metal detection and the Nomad Mini is perfect for me. The quality of the product and the reliability of the Blu3 company...
An out-of-this-world experience! BLU3's equipment is unlike anything I’ve ever used before! innovative, lightweight, and absolutely game-changing. Whether you're a beginner or experienced diver, their gear opens up a whole new way to explore underwater. The team at the store is incredibly kind, welcoming, and truly know their stuff. They answered all my questions with patience and gave me great advice. I only have amazing memories from this place, thank you BLU3!! for such an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend to anyone even remotely curious about diving. 🌊💙
Bought the nemo duo package 5/16/24 with two spare batteries. We Love them and the customer service is phenomenal. Will definitely be buying more/upgrading. Worth the money for these memories. Have told everyone I know that they need to buy one as well.
We absolutely love our BLU3 Nomad! We keep ours on our boat when traveling, using it to dive and maintain our hull /zines as well as spearfishing and Lobster hunting. It is compact, self contained and lightweight, making it easy to take with us when exploring in our dinghy. No affiliation with the company, just a very satisfied customer. Bonus is that it is easy to reach support at their company, speak with a knowledgeable person and get answers with any questions. Highly recommend!!!!
I purchased the mini unit for cleaning the bottom of my J40 sailboat. I just used it for the first time and was very happy. I was in the water on the Chesapeake Bay for a half hour cleaning and the battery was still going strong. Thank You.
Met Heather, Blake, and the guys at Blu3 today! I’ve had my Nomad for about a year and it has been amazing. Great team and so willing to help in any way. I lost a few minor items and they had me replacements and a minor issue fixed for me in minutes!
I've owned the Nemo by BLU3 for 4 years. I love this system for doing my shallow water metal detecting. It's really a perfect product for what I'm doing. BLU3's customer service has also been prompt and helpful the few times I've had question or issues. It was an investment for me to get a Nemo, but it's paid for itself many times over in finding lost jewelry/phones/watches/sunglasses, etc. for myself and others.
The Nomad is a great product. I use it mostly, but not totally, in less than 5' of water. At these shallow depths I get about 1 1/2 hours of battery power. I've had it over two years. Customer service is fast, friendly, and helpful.
Working with the Blu3 dive systems has been a breeze! Many people may know me from my videos but few know I only use Blu3 made systems for my treasure hunting. I highly Recommend their products to anyone looking for a hookah diving system for whatever they need it for, treasure hunting, Spear fishing, boat maintenance, or just simply diving to have fun. The dive systems are easy to use, easy to maintain, portable and safe. Everything I could have asked for in a dive kit and more!
I have used my Nemo for years without any problems, the design is unparalleled in both ease of use and reliability. Every interaction I have ever had with the company has been five stars and they go out of their way to make sure that any small problems are taken care of immediately. Customer service like this just doesn't exist anymore and coupled with a superior product is exactly why I will forever be a loyal customer to Blu3.. there are many imitations out there but none can compare to the original. Keep up the good work Blu3!!
I have a BLU3 diving setup that I actually love. I got certified for diving back in 1970 and I've loved diving since then. What I hated was the weight and cumbersome of all of the gear. I've also used Air supply diving gear for a long time, but BLU3 is a real game changer! I can carry this along the beach and enter the water easily within moments of reaching the dive site.
I have had what I call Mr Blue - 3 . I have had no problems with this unit I got 3 yrs ago. Since then I have used it with my waterproof metal detecter Dominican Republic , 2 times and Point Mago Ca, this is so much fun. If you know someone with Mr Blue, ask to try it ! You will order right away ,have fun.
This makes my algea dives and underwater drain replacements faster, and more profitable.... its also a blast to use in my personal time in the Florida springs!
We already have a Nomad Mini, and love it, so we decided to purchase a second unit! While you're limited to the length of the hose, it's a great way to explore the shallow reefs, clean the bottom of your boat, or just sit in your pool, underwater, for an extended period of time! Had to reach out to customer support regarding something basic and they were quick to respond! Highly Recommend if you're in the market. Be sure to go through the training too.. Great information.
I flooded my nomad mini in salt water and I called for support and was advised to run fresh water through the intake system I did that and my unit is working well. Thanks Blake for your help.
By far, the BLU3 is the best single dive unit available in the world. Love the compact, lightweight, and reliable air source. Beyond happy and will recommend to my dive buddies 100%.
I saw the BLU3 Nomad at a boat show and thought it was the coolest idea ever. I rationalized that I would use it to clean our bottom when cruising but the truth is that I just wanted it. I ordered and using the Nomad was even more fun than I expected. I love how compact it is, and how easy it is to use and maintain. Best boat purchase of the season!
Great company, great staff. Incredible customer service. We love our Blu3 products and excited for all the new technology this company brings to the industry. They truly stand behind their products and are a good example of what other companies should aspire to be. Shout out to Jack - really appreciate the support and excellence you’ve delivered.
We love our BLU3 Nomad. We use it when anchored to explore our underneath world. We put it in our dingy and take to clearer waters and reefs. My husband also uses it to clean the bottom of the boat. It is Very quiet.
I recently became a happy owner of a nomad! I ordered it with extra batteries and a charger. And I received another battery and charger as a gift from the blu3 team! The order was assembled and shipped as quickly as possible! Nomad was well packed and arrived in Europe without damage! Assembly was as easy and fast as possible! Immediately after assembly, Nomad proved itself in action! An excellent compact solution! I had experience using diving equipment with a dive duration of 35-45 minutes and a depth of up to 7 meters. I tried Nomad in the same conditions, with the same depth and the same dive time. And I can say with confidence - Nomad is lighter, more compact and more convenient! Only positive emotions and joy from the purchase! Many thanks to blu3!
I purchased my Nemo from Blu3 over a year and a half ago, and I’ve absolutely been loving it! Their support team is great, as they always respond to my emails promptly and address any questions I have with the care and concern you would expect from a professional and reputable company. They have 10 out of 10 for products and customer service in my book.

It takes a bit getting used to regulating your breathing correctly but after the first time it feels natural. I would highly recommend!
