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.

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 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!

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.

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.

Take Nomad On Your Next Adventure

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 (available as an add-on from the dropdown) and considering SCUBA certification to enhance your diving skills after completing our training course at diveblu3.com/training.

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.
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 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?

a floating dive system is in the ocean in waves with a dive flag and a yellow float next to it as it tows behind a diver pumping air from the surface to the user underwater

What is the Reserve Air Tank option for with the BLU3 Nomad Dive System?

Graphic shows a diver underwater using a blu3 nomad tankless dive system to breathe underwater and a mini scuba tank spare air reserve air tank mounted on the dive harness with a text box explaining what the Spare Air is useful for.

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.

  2. Davin Dhatt

    Took my Nomad to the British Virgin Islands recently and it worked exactly as expected. Breathes a bit harder than my normal scuba setup, but not a problem. I was sweating the TSA confiscating my batteries at the airport so I had the air travel certificate all printed out and ready, but through 6 different checkpoints on the way there and back I never got a question!

  3. Marvin D.

    Great Unit. I Love my Nomad and would never change against a bottle <3

      Hi, Marvin. Thanks for the shout-out! We are so glad to hear that you’re loving your Nomad. Happy diving!

  4. Kasey M

    I recently went diving with my friend in Islamorada who had a Nomad, and I was in awe of this phenomenal product. It’s lightweight, easy to use & the maintenance is minimal. Nomad’s compact size also gives you access to more remote diving spots (ones you couldn’t reach with tanks)! When you’re under the water with Nomad, you can glide more freely through the water, making it a unique dive that you cannot achieve while scuba diving. The setup is simple and quick, and we were able to recharge the batteries by boat. My buddy also uses his to clean the bottom of his boat which has been a significant alternative to holding your breath. If you’re a diver, snorkeler or everyday boater, you need to have this product onboard. I can’t emphasize what a difference-maker this system is! I feel that one day it could even change the way we dive forever. I am stoked to go back to the keys during mini season this summer and use Nomad. Thank you BLU3 for inventing such a useful and cool system.

    • Emily Smith

      Hi Kasey! We appreciate you taking the time out to review Nomad. It sounds like you and your friend had a successful dive day in Islamorada. Thanks for pointing out the various reasons you love Nomad! We too love the simple setup, as well as the amplified underwater adventure it provides divers with. We are excited to hear such positive feedback from just one dive. You should consider purchasing one so you can continue to indulge in Nomad’s benefits every time you go under the surface.
      Happy diving!

  5. Rowan

    If you’re wondering whether to stick with snorkelling, or invest in tanks….don’t do either of those. Get a Nomad, and have the access of scuba with the convenience of snorkelling. Nomad is to snorkelling what the iPhone was to the iPod. A step change in utility, through great design. All backed by a small company, that are very responsive in helping users like me

    • Emily Smith

      Hi Rowan!
      We’re glad that our team was able to help you resolve your issue which was caused by using Nomad out of water. As noted in the Owner’s – Users Manual, Nomad needs to remain in water during use, otherwise it may shut off due to overheating.

      We encourage all BLU3 divers to fully understand the manual and BLU3 online dive training course prior to the use of our products.
      Now that your issue is settled, it’s awesome to know that you’re loving Nomad and benefitting from its features.

      At BLU3, we pride ourselves on providing quality service to amazing customers like you! Happy diving.

  6. Will Badger (verified owner)

    Thanks, Blu3, for introducing the underwater world to those of us who can’t or don’t want to lug scuba tanks to hard to reach locations! I’m a new Nomad user, but I’m loving the ease and freedom so far. As an amateur treasure hunter, the Nomad has opened up new areas and vistas to me and my detector — I can’t wait for a trip to the Bahamas later this year!

    • Emily Smith

      Hi Will! It’s great to hear that you are enjoying your new Nomad! Nomad’s portability and lightweight design allow you to dive from remote areas with ease! Best of luck on your Bahamas treasure hunts. Have a great time!

  7. Jim Gillespie

    Perfect for lobster diving in the Florida Keys. I can easily store the BLU3 on my boat and easily get out and get in the water at anytime. Battery life is good and with a spare battery or 2 provides enough time to for a day in the water. As I get older the standard scuba tanks get heavier and I’ve been tank diving less. Can’t wait to get back in the water!

    • Emily Smith

      Hey Jim! We are glad to hear that you’re enjoying your Nomad. Nomad’s compact design makes it easy for storing, usage and battery swapping. It’s great that these features are enhancing your dive excursions. Hopefully, you can get back under the water soon!

      -BLU3 Team

  8. Nick Clarke

    I should add – the air supply hose with the Nomad floats which is an important safety feature as hoses which sink (as some do) easily get caught around rocks.

    I have often used scuba tanks for diving and also another make of floating hookah air supply but I enjoy diving on the many dive sites accessible from the beaches and bays on the Western Australian coast and both the tanks and other hookah unit are very heavy to carry to the water and over rocks. The Nomad is a fraction of the weight and size due to its clever system of pumping air only as required which means a relatively small battery lasts up to an hour. The unit is very well engineered and built and the batteries can be recharged almost anywhere, with no need for access to a dive shop. I also bought the Spare Air cylinder which can be topped up with a hand pump. My unit was one of the earliest built and I did have some teething problems with occasional difficulty in drawing air. The staff at Blu3 were very helpful and arranged for return and repair. The problem turned out to be just a misaligned O ring but they sent me a brand new replacement unit which I am now looking forward to using. I highly recommend Blu3.

      Hi Nick. Thanks for taking the time out to leave this review! We created Nomad to provide divers with all the awesome features you mentioned. And it’s great to know that they are benefitting you during your underwater adventures. Nomad’s lightweight design and portability definitely come in handy when diving in those rural/rocky areas! Also, we are glad to know you received your replacement and hopefully, you’ll be out diving again soon! Thank you for recommending us- we appreciate your business and support.
      Happy diving!

    I have been diving for 40 years. I had always likely the concept of surface supplied air but the options were not reasonable to me and I never owned one until now.. I have both the Nemo and the Nomad. Both systems have been easy and trouble free to use. Battery life has been longer than expected. These units have replaced Scuba diving for me entirely. No more heavy tanks in constant need of filling and maintenance. Goodbye Scuba hello Blu3, where have you been all my life.

      Hi Walter! Thank you so much for the glowing review. We too, love the ease and portability with Nemo and Nomad. And we couldn’t be happier that the battery life has surpassed your expectations. Have a great day!
