Snorkeling and scuba diving are well-known ways of exploring underwater seascapes, but each comes with its own issues. Snorkeling is simple, easy and accessible to almost anyone but it often leaves you wishing for more. Scuba gear is bulky and can weigh up to 55 lbs or more – learning a new skill with all that gear is often intimidating, giving scuba a much higher barrier to entry.

When you crave a world beyond the capabilities of snorkeling but get overwhelmed by the gear required for scuba diving, our underwater breathing devices are the perfect in-between.

Through relentless determination and commitment to development and research, we've created a user-friendly mini underwater breathing device to introduce people ages 8 and up (starting in the pool) to the wonderful world of life beneath the water. Let's explore some of the differences that stem from our innovations.

The Nomad mini underwater breathing device is the world's smallest dive system at just 1/4 the size of scuba gear.

Whether you're doing underwater maintenance, like cleaning your boat hull or performing leak detection in a swimming pool, or just want a fun way to explore shallow reef, the Nomad Mini offers total freedom. With a max depth of 15 feet (4.5 meters) and a compact profile, it’s the most portable dive system in the world. The Nomad Mini can help new divers search for treasure, discover a new world of fish and reefs or simply have fun experiencing weightlessness in the pool at home.

Discover the freedom of the sea with the Nomad Mini underwater breathing device, offering a dive time of 35-40 minutes per battery. Swappable batteries allow you to extend your time underwater, and the optional DiveBoost Kit lets you connect a second battery for longer sessions.

Discover the durability of the Nomad Mini underwater breathing system for yourself today. We understand this is a big decision, so be sure to read customer reviews and watch informative videos of the Nomad Mini in action. You can always contact us as well for more information.

If you're a bit more experienced under the surface and want to dive deeper than 15 feet, the Nomad portable underwater breathing device is your solution.

Nomad is ideal for people who want to bring the underwater experience wherever they go, without the complexity of tanks and gear. With a maximum depth of 30 feet (9 meters) and up to 60 minutes of dive time per battery, it’s perfect for travelers, shore divers, and yacht owners looking to add a premium, compact dive solution to their lineup.

Of course, the swappable battery system makes it easy to keep the fun going for hours, just like the Nomad Mini. Within 20 seconds you'll have a fresh battery ready for action.

Thanks to its backpack-portable size and airline-friendly batteries, Nomad makes it easy to dive in remote locations, off the back of a paddleboard or yacht, or right from the beach. It’s your passport to exploring underwater environments with minimal gear and maximum freedom.

The Nomad portable underwater breathing device is like the Nomad Mini but deeper. It's like scuba diving but simpler. It's the perfect in-between for any diver. Purchase yours today.

Scuba diving is an exciting hobby, but sometimes the training can overwhelm individuals at the start.

Diving with a BLU3 underwater breathing device still requires training, and SCUBA certification is always encouraged as well. Learning to dive with a BLU3 tankless dive system is recommended because the gear involved is more of a stepping stone between snorkeling and SCUBA, so it is not as overwhelming for new divers. BLU3 provides users with multiple opportunities to learn depending on their needs in the form of a completely self-paced free online dive training course and fun-filled guided tours.

BLU3 dive training courses and guided tours are able to help new divers get more comfortable with the concepts used for scuba diving. That means when you eventually want to dive deeper than 30 feet, you'll already have a large store of specialized knowledge to help you get your scuba certification. The BLU3 Online Dive Training Course can make the transition to scuba diving a smoother process.

We've already mentioned the limits of snorkeling – you're severely restricted when exploring under the water. Scuba diving comes with its own restrictions as well.

Because scuba diving depends on a diver having access to an air compressor to refill their tanks, it becomes a challenge to explore remote locations. Not to mention traveling with all that bulky scuba gear is a challenge all on its own. It's a well-known fact that if you're flying with scuba equipment, you'll pay for a good deal of extra baggage to get to your destination. In addition, scuba tanks need to be empty when traveling and require refills once you arrive at your final destination. Any scuba diver is limited to local dive shops to fill their dive tanks, meaning they must waste valuable vacation time that could be spent in the water. With BLU3, you can explore wherever you want, whenever you want.

With a BLU3 mini underwater breathing device, you won't need the extra bulky equipment to get under the water. Everything you'll need to get started is lightweight and easily fits into the compact backpack that comes with each system. You'll even have room to spare for flippers, your phone and other essentials. You'll also never have to worry about refilling a 38 lb scuba tank so you can dive all day without hassle. All you have to do is swap out the battery and keep diving.

It's simple, BLU3 is diving made easier.
