BLU3’s Nomad: The Game Changer for Tankless Diving

March 14, 2023     |     By BLU3     |

BLU3 systems are one-third the weight of traditional scuba gear, making it easy to fit two divers and their dive gear on a single LIVE paddle board.

Are you interested in scuba diving but hesitant to commit to buying expensive gear or carrying heavy tanks? Look no further! BLU3's Nomad Tankless Dive System is changing the game in all aspects.

Recently, Scuba Diving Magazine and PADI Club teamed up with the BLU3 team to experience the Nomad and Nemo systems on a paddle and dive trip at Rainbow Springs State Park. Candice Landau, the author of the Scuba Diving Magazine article, tried the Nomad for the first time and discovered a whole new world.

The Nomad is so small it fits into a backpack and its portability gives people access to remote and hard-to-reach bodies of water. It also serves as a "gateway drug to scuba diving" People can take the free online training course and answer the health questionnaire to see if BLU3 products are right for them.

Candice explains how the Nomad system works and how her first dive went at Rainbow River. With the compressor floating in the water next to her, she turned the regulator on and took a breath. The system came to life with a rattling buzz and gave her the first breath of air. It was a familiar but strange feeling since breathing with Nomad feels a bit different than scuba (During the first dive with Nomad, it usually takes a couple of minutes for scuba divers to get used to breathing with Nomad).

“The simplicity of snorkeling meets the thrill of scuba diving.”

BLU3's Nomad dive system also comes with a battery-operated compressor that affects breathing effort. When the diver breathes in, the compressor inside is activated and the air is pulled from the surface and supplied down the hose to the diver's mouth. Since the system only runs when the diver is inhaling (BLU3's patented Smart Reg technology), its able to conserve battery life--providing up to an hour of dive time. It's recommended that anyone diving with the Nomad carry a small Spare Air with them, which can be filled from any scuba tank.

Diving from a LIVE Watersports paddle board is a unique experience that combines the thrill of scuba diving with the ease and convenience of paddle boarding.

The L4Expedition board is made by LIVE Watersports and is specifically designed for fishing and diving. With a length of 14 feet and a weight capacity of 700 pounds, this board provides ample space and stability for multiple divers and their gear. Its catamaran-style design allows for smooth and easy paddling, making it the perfect platform for diving adventures. So, why not combine your love of paddle boarding and scuba diving and give it a try? Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience.

Mini scuba systems like BLU3’s are designed for all of the globetrotters of the underwater world. Whether you’re a snorkeler looking for a deeper adventure, a retired SCUBA diver looking to dive back in, or someone in search of the newest yacht toy & tool, these systems are the solution you’ve been searching for.

Paddleboard diving with Nomad gives you simplicity while still being a high quality diving experience. You can reach more locations than you would on a normal shore dive, and it’s far simpler than dealing with a boat and SCUBA gear. With traditional SCUBA gear, diving from a paddleboard or kayak can be a real hassle. With Nomad you simply set the backpack on your board and head out to the reef.
