Description

Nomad Mini is the newest addition to the BLU3 product line. Our engineering team has accepted feedback from users of Nemo and Nomad to combine the best features of each, so Nomad Mini delivers the sweet spot between portability and performance.

Here are a few of the most exciting design considerations:

The DiveBoost™ Kit allows for use of more than one battery at a time so you can dive for longer without swapping the battery. Running with multiple batteries also increases the air flow rate and depth rating!
Uses the same battery as Nemo so that existing owners of Nemo can upgrade their dive system without the need for new batteries. Also, these Nemo/Nomad Mini batteries are even easier to travel with than Nomad batteries because they are less than 100 Wh.
Allows for optional use of either the Flotation Tube, Dry Bag Float, neither, or both, depending on your situation and conditions.

Nomad Mini has similar portability specs of Nemo but with added depth performance. Like a miniature version of Nomad!

Dive Longer with Nomad Mini

Nomad Mini is a portable and airline-friendly tankless diving system designed for depths of up to 10 feet with one battery, or up to 15 feet when used with a DiveBoost Kit. 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 additional batteries for even longer dive times.

Nomad Mini is extremely user-friendly and perfect for boat owners 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 ultimate dive system for experienced divers who want to explore deeper reefs, shipwrecks, and underwater wonders hassle-free. With a maximum depth of 15 feet, Nomad Mini can be used with one battery or, for even longer dives, a DiveBoost Kit can be added to connect a second battery. Nomad Mini is airline-friendly and lightweight, making it the perfect solution for boat owners and divers on the go. Don't let equipment hold you back from your next adventure.

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.

Nomad Mini compressor designed for deeper dives with higher pressure and flow rates. The foam shell ensures the unit is unsinkable, and it can be used with the Dry Bag Float or the Floatation Tube for added buoyancy, stability, and visibility.

The Compressor

Designed for deeper depths, 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 custom 72wh lithium-ion battery pack that is swappable and rechargeable. The pack and connector are IP67-rated to handle saltwater environments. It's allowed in carry-on luggage on most airlines and a charge-level indicator is located right on the battery for easy monitoring. With the DiveBoost Kit, divers can add an extra battery and increase dive time and maximum depth from 10 feet to 15 feet. Be sure to grab a few extra packs so that you can dive all day long!

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.


Nomad Mini with Dry Bag Float and Flotation Tube for added buoyancy and visibility.

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 25-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).

Frequently Asked Questions About Nomad Mini Diving

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.

WHAT TYPE OF BATTERY IS NEEDED TO POWER NOMAD MINI USING ONLY ONE BATTERY? 

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.

WHAT MAKES THE DIVEBOOST KIT SO SPECIAL? 

Special electronics are required to enable the use of multiple lithium ion batteries simultaneously. Our DiveBoost technology makes this possible and by doing so, increases your run time and performance, even increasing the depth rating of your Nomad Mini!

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEMO, NOMAD MINI AND NOMAD?  

Special electronics are required to enable the use of multiple lithium ion batteries simultaneously. Our DiveBoost technology makes this possible and by doing so, increases your run time and performance, even increasing the depth rating of your Nomad Mini!

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?

Yes! If you're using Nomad Mini 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 Mini stays close by. Note that for diving shallower than 10 feet, you can expect similar or longer run times with Nemo. Additionally, the DiveBoost Kit allows divers to add an extra battery and increase the maximum depth from 10 feet to 15 feet, providing even more dive time and exploration
