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.
Description
Meet the BLU3 Nomad Dive System
The BLU3 Nomad Dive System is a battery-powered tankless diving system that floats on the surface like a buoy and delivers you compressed air through a hose as you breath underwater to a maximum depth of 30 feet. Battery run time is typically about 45-60 minutes and spare batteries can be swapped in for extra dive time with ease.
Nomad is extremely user-friendly and portable. You can even fly with it! Travel around and explore the underwater world with Nomad, hassle free.
The Nomad 3X Battery delivers up to 3 hours of runtime depending on depth and breathing rate. It is built with the same lithium-ion technology as the standard battery, just three times the capacity. It installs the same way, making it a seamless upgrade for existing Nomad users. (Not airline travel friendly.)
Compact and lightweight, Nomad offers everything you want from a portable dive system. Nomad is for people who want convenience, simplicity, and the ability to breathe underwater for extended periods of time. Scuba tanks are great for diving deep, but for shallow-water diving in 30 feet (9 meters) of water or less, there has never been a more user-friendly solution than Nomad.
BLU3 Nomad Dive System Requires Training
Whether you're diving with the Nomad Mini or Nomad, make sure to complete the BLU3 Online Dive Training Course before heading underwater. With a maximum depth of 30 feet, Nomad delivers compressed air just like scuba diving. We strongly recommend using a Spare Air and considering SCUBA certification to enhance your diving skills after completing our training course at diveblu3.com/training.
Portability
The BLU3 Nomad dive system is ultra portable and comes standard with the BLU3 Backpack, which is sized for carry-on luggage.
Fast Battery Replacement
Switching out the Nomad battery takes about 20 seconds and gives you an extra 45-60 minutes of dive time.
Dry Bag Float
The Nomad dive system comes complete with a dry bag float which offers waterproof storage, 44lbs of buoyancy and is visible to boaters.
The Nomad Design
The BLU3 Nomad dive system 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 BLU3 NOMAD DIVE SYSTEM
Spend more time underwater with 45-60 minutes of battery charge time. Purchase additional batteries and easily swap in to go for another dive.
Designed with Application in mind
Durability is key. Nomad's proprietary air pump withstands saltwater intrusion without damage. All of Nomad's parts are corrosion resistant and simple to maintain.
Designed with safety in mind
Safety is always our priority. Our BLU3 Online Dive Training Course prepares experienced divers for new underwater adventures with the BLU3 Nomad dive system specifically.
designed with quality in mind
Nomad is assembled in Davie, Florida from raw materials, where we take quality seriously.
Why choose the BLU3 Nomad Dive System instead of Nomad Mini?
The BLU3 Nomad dive system is the go-to option for divers who need more depth and longer dive capabilities.
Here’s why it might be the right choice for you:
Reach Greater Depths:
The Nomad’s stronger air pump, powered by a 144 Wh battery, allows divers to go down to 30 feet. This extra depth makes it a great option for anyone looking to explore the reef or just wants to have higher performance and air flow.
Extended Runtime:
With its larger battery, Nomad provides longer dive times compared to Nomad Mini, making it ideal for more involved tasks or longer underwater sessions. Triple your dive time with the Nomad 3X Battery.
Extra Depth for Boat Owners:
For boaters with a primary use of boat hull maintenance, maybe the Nomad Mini with a 15 foot depth rating is enough. However, the 30 foot depth rating of Nomad will give you more flexibility in case you want to inspect the anchor, etc.
Portability with Power:
At 15 lbs, the Nomad is slightly heavier than the Mini (12 lbs) but still compact enough to transport and store easily on a boat, bring on a plane, hike to a river, or store in tight spaces. It comes in the same size backpack that Mini does.
The BLU3 Nomad dive system is an excellent choice for divers, boat owners, and treasure hunters who need more depth and runtime, making it a versatile tool for underwater projects or exploration. If you are looking for the smallest and lightest dive system in the world and you are satisfied with a maximum depth of 15 feet (4.6 meters), then take a look at Nomad Mini.
The Smart Reg™

The Air Hose

The Smart Reg™
What allows Nomad 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
With deeper depths, higher pressure and flow rates are required for
diving. Our custom compressor designed by our team in Florida, USA has
been customized to fit this application. For example – even if you
accidentally get saltwater inside your pump, no damage will be done.
Just rinse freshwater through. Don’t try that with any other
compressors!
The flotation shell surrounding the compressor on the BLU3 Nomad dive system gives the unit
inherent buoyancy without the need for a flotation tube. The flotation
shell is rotomolded from hard, durable plastic and filled with foam so
that it’s unsinkable. That being said, you should use the Dry Bag Float
whenever you dive for additional buoyancy, stability, and visibility.
The Battery Pack
Nomad is powered by a custom lithium-ion battery pack
that is swappable and rechargeable. The pack and connector are
IP67-rated to handle saltwater environments. It’s 144 Wh, so it is
allowed in carry-on luggage on most airlines! A charge-level indicator
is located right on the battery itself so that you can always check your
battery level. Be sure to grab a few extra packs so that you can dive
all day long!
Dry Bag Float
The Dry Bag Float provides buoyancy, visibility, and
waterproof storage for dry items. It has two air reservoirs that can be
inflated by mouth with ease to provide 44 lb of buoyancy. It’s bright
color will help notify surrounding boaters of your location. Store dry
items inside the waterproof compartment while you enjoy your dive with
Nomad.
The Air Hose
Nomad’s 40-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 with you to new dive spots around the world with the BLU3 Backpack, designed specifically to make carrying Nomad or Nemo and the
rest of your gear as easy as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nomad Diving
Is the BLU3 Nomad Dive System stable in the water without a flotation ring around it?
What is the Reserve Air Tank option for with the BLU3 Nomad Dive System?
DOES NOMAD FLOAT?
Yes! And by the way, Nomad must be in water during use to remain cool. (Never operate out of water.) Nomad has built-in flotation and can float on its own. However, for diving offshore, the included Dry Bag Float is strongly recommended for additional buoyancy and visibility. Plus you can store dry items inside!
CAN THE NOMAD FOR HULL CLEANING CLEANING AND PROPELLER INSPECTIONS?
Yes, the Nomad is perfect for tasks like hull cleaning, propeller inspections, and other boat maintenance at depths up to 30 feet.
IS THE NOMAD SUITABLE FOR USE IN SALTWATER ENVIRONMENTS?
Absolutely! The Nomad is designed to perform well in saltwater. We recommend dunking Nomad in a tub of fresh water to thoroughly soak the Nomad after each use to maintain its performance.
CAN I TRAVEL WITH THE NOMAD ON MY BOAT?
Yes, the Nomad is compact and easy to store on most boats, making it convenient for day trips or extended voyages.
WHAT IS THE WEIGHT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NOMAD AND NOMAD MINI FOR PORTABILITY ON A BOAT?
The Nomad weighs 15 lbs, while the Nomad Mini weighs 12 lbs. Both are lightweight and easy to store, but the Nomad offers more depth and runtime for tasks requiring additional capability.
WHAT IF NOMAD 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. 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 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. The Nomad 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 BATTERY LAST LONGER IN SHALLOW WATER?
Yes! If you're using Nomad in shallow waters, you can expect longer run times. And you will be able to coil up the excess hose length neatly so that Nomad stays close by.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN NOMAD DIVING?
WARNING: Nomad 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 main body at all times.
Swim 200 yards without stopping, without a time limit
Tread water for 10 minutes continuously

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.

I couldn’t be happier with you customer service. I ordered my Nomad during the 20% off sale and it arrived missing the 2nd battery without question I was sent the battery overnight. So far I have only used Nomad in my pool but I can’t wait to try in the ocean.

Great reliable setup for searching for underwater treasure. Provides plenty of air and is very travel friendly. Other competing systems I have looked into are taking air in from the same compartment as the battery and if they even ingest water they will shut down with most likely Permanent pump/battery damage. Definitely not safe when your life is on the line. Blu3s batteries are separate and under the unit. The pumps are custom made to handle water and will pump the water out without damage. Battery swaps take seconds and with Blu3 being made, shipped, and serviced in the USA its a no brainer. Blu3 and Brownies (building dive systems for 45 years) work hand and hand with each other so you know you are getting the best.

The Nomad for me has been a game changer. I dive for treasure on local beaches here in Finland and the possibility to dive for easily over an hour and just swap batteries within a few seconds and back to an other hour of diving is AMAZING!

Overall great product. I use it to spearfish lakes in Arkansas because most of our fish are less than 20 feet deep. Mostly brush piles and rocks. I was afraid the noise would scare the fish but from the 8ish times I’ve taken it out, I think it helps peak their curiosity for a little bit. It’s definitely helped me become more efficient at spearfishing so I can sit on moss beds much longer and be more patient instead of rushing a bad shot. On complaint is it definitely tilts in the water towards the battery side but still floats well enough it’s not a problem.
David –
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We’re thrilled to hear that the Nomad has helped you become more efficient at spearfishing and allowed you to be more patient while waiting for the perfect shot.
